The Tennessee Volunteers and Vanderbilt Commodores head into their matchup with notable injury concerns affecting both rosters, which could significantly shape the game’s dynamics.
For Tennessee, the Volunteers are dealing with a depleted lineup due to injuries across multiple positions. Key defensive players, including safeties Wesley Walker and Christian Charles, linebacker Keenan Pili, and defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, are unavailable. Offensively, Tennessee will miss wide receivers Bru McCoy and Dont’e Thornton, along with offensive lineman Javontez Spraggins. These absences have forced the Volunteers to rely on younger talents like Kaleb Webb and Chas Nimrod at receiver and potential rotations along the offensive line.
The Commodores also face challenges, particularly with quarterback health. Ken Seals is expected to start, though AJ Swann’s status remains uncertain due to prior injuries. Vanderbilt’s offensive struggles this season are exacerbated by the absence of key players, and their defensive depth has also been impacted, leaving them vulnerable against Tennessee’s fast-paced offense.
This game, serving as the regular-season finale, will test the depth of both squads, with Tennessee aiming to finish strong despite their injury woes and Vanderbilt looking to capitalize on any weaknesses they can exploit.
