As Tennessee continues its push for an SEC championship game berth and a spot in the College Football Playoff, it may have to do so without one of its best offensive players.
Vols wide receiver Mike Matthews left the team's Week 11 game at Texas A&M in the second quarter with an injury on Saturday, Nov. 14.
The injury occurred after Matthews brought in a 17-yard pass to get Tennessee a first down at the Texas A&M 11-yard line. Matthews was brought down to the turf awkwardly by an Aggies defender. After the play was over, Matthews remained on the turf in visible pain and took his helmet off.
He was helped off of the field by trainers and taken into the injury tent on the Vols' sideline at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. He would later reemerge
with crutches, but the severity of his injury has not yet been determined.
