Kentucky and Tennessee will meet in a Week 10 battle in Knoxville with both teams heading in opposite directions this season. Both teams are dealing with some injuries heading into the contest and the initial injury report was released Wednesday to give fans an idea of some of those players’ statuses.

Receiver Squirrel White will be a name to watch for Tennessee after he left with a shoulder injury in a Week 8 win against Alabama. The Vols had a bye this past week to give White ample time to rest in preparation for this matchup.

As for Kentucky, the Wildcats saw running backs Demie Sumo-Karngbaye and Chip Trayanum both sat out last week’s game against Auburn. The status of both backs will be worth monitoring as Kentucky’s backfield depth is once again in question.
