Josh Heupel delivered bad news on the front cover of injury in TennesseeCompetition of the week 2 of 2 East Tennessee State. Wols coach discovered in its Monday Press conference that is both suppliers Rickey Gibson and defensive stay Jakson me are excluded to play.
Heupel said Gibson would be a “extended period” after the Left Hand injury on Saturday Season Openers Against Syracuse. The exact nature of the injury is unknown. Gibson played in 12 games last season, recording 32 barracks and 5 passes defended and forced fum.
In addition, the MUP will miss this week, but Heupel added that “hopes to return it quickly.” He also left the match on Saturday after suffering a smile injury in the first quarter on Saturday.
Tenneses have already been exhausted in their secondary to start the season with Jermond McCoy It still recovers from the torn ACL undergrained in January. Colorado transmission COLTON HOOD He went out in the opener after Gibson lowered him to finish with three passing burglars.
As for the defensive line, Brison Eason It is expected to appear as a leader with the MUP aside at 2. The week. Heupel explained that he liked what he saw from some of the younger players who were pushed into greater roles and, unfortunately, they will have to continue this week.
“I like guys who got more games than may be provided in a football match” he said. “We have some young guys who still become better and feel like they will play at a high level. … Everyone must be ready and prepared when they get a call and we have to be ready.”
It seems that he could have had the opportunity to come back before later. The main concern is how long it can take Gibson to return to the field. I hope to hear more about his timekeeper return and what is the injury later.
For now, Vols will focus on preparing for play against East Tennessee State, which was set at 15:30 ET Saturday. After that, they have a mass game spinning while the SEC is to play against Georgia at 3. the week. The status of the MUP will surely be one to watch the pan into that game.
