Tennessee receivers take a hit… make that hits
Tennessee has gotten a double whammy over the past few days. First, senior Austin Rogers tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during voluntary summer workouts and is lost for the year. Now it appears junior Denarius Moore may miss most, if not all, of hte upcoming season. Moore, the Vols best at going deep, has a broken bone in his left foot and will be out eight to 12 weeks.
The case for Rogers is the toughest pill to swallow. Since he has already used a redshirt year, the knee injury could effectively end his collegiate career. He will most likely petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility, but those are few and far between.
