Tennessee offensive lineman Riley Locklear suffers knee injury against Georgia

The Tennessee offensive line has struggled to find their way so far this season, failing to get a consistent push up front and proving to be pretty leaky in pass protection through five games.

Their job got a little tougher on Saturday as Riley Locklear was forced to leave the Georgia contest with a knee injury. The sophomore interior lineman suffered a partially torn meniscus during the first half. Locklear underwent surgery earlier this week and is expect to miss time over the next two weeks, according to Jeremy Pruitt.

“It’s actually good news for Riley,” Pruitt said on the Wednesday’s SEC teleconference.
