Florida at Tennessee: Thursday injury report released
Florida and Tennessee are set to renew their rivalry in a game that is critically important for both teams, albeit for wildly different reasons. So the injury report looms quite large.
Wednesday saw some key players included on that injury report on both sides.
For Tennessee, wide receivers Squirrel White and Bru McCoy were both listed on the injury report as probable on Wednesday. So while they’re anticipated to play, their status is worth monitoring the rest of the week.
