Quarterback has been a pain position for Tennessee football this year, in the sense that those playing it have experience a lot of pain.
Faizon Brandon, the Volunteers' QB
to start the year before George MacIntyre eventually took over, came in for MacIntyre in the second half of Tennessee's game against Texas A&M on Saturday, Nov. 14. MacIntyre is nursing a knee injury suffered earlier in the quarter.MacIntyre was in and out of the tent and seemingly working out the injury on the sideline, but Brandon ultimately had to come in for the Vols as they try to stave off a third loss this season.
He was spotted on the sideline with his helmet on with the Vols offense
on the field in the latter half of the third quarter.
George MacIntyre injury updates
MacIntyre went to the medical tent after experiencing discomfort in his right knee following a big hit in the third quarter.
He came back on but again returned to the sideline and subsequently the tent. He exited with a brace on his knee after that trip. MacIntyre was 13 of 17 passing for 109 yards before coming off.
Tennessee did take a 9-7 lead with a field goal with Brandon on the field. The big lingering question for MacIntyre is if it's a lingering stinger or if it's something more severe. He has remained active on the Vols sideline seemingly trying to work the injury out. But his attempt to return and exit may not bode well for his prospects the rest of this game.
