Vols #1 WR is down, but not out

First it was Austin Rogers, then Denarius Moore, now Gerald Jones is temporarily out. During the Vol’s Saturday scrimmage, junior WR Gerald Jones went down with a high ankle sprain. His injury will force him to sit at least 4-6 weeks. This is extremely costly and worrisome for Kifffin and crew as the Vols are running out of any go-to or experienced receivers as the season kicks-off. Tennessee has two big early match-ups as the Vols face UCLA September 12th...
