Saturday’s game against Ohio was already going to be difficult for the Tennessee Volunteers, who were without WR Josh Smith, DL LaTroy Lewis and MLB Darrin Kirkland due to injuries and without DB Malik Foreman due to suspension.
But, in the first half alone, the Vols have lost four more players on the defensive side of the ball, including senior DB Cam Sutton.
Here’s the full list (minus Kirkland) of Volunteers who are out for Tennessee already on Saturday:
Cam Sutton
Quart'e Sapp
Jalen Reeves-Maybin
Danny O'Brien
Josh Smith*
LaTroy Lewis*
Malik Foreman**

Not sure if it’s been reported or not, but CB Marquill Osborne also went to the locker room early for the #Vols in the 1st half.

O’Brien walked off the field under his own power, so it’s unclear whether he’ll be able to return in the second half or not.
Sapp, meanwhile, was on crutches with ice around his left knee and has been ruled out for the rest of the game.
Despite all the missing players, Tennessee holds a narrow 14-12 lead over the Bobcats at halftime.
