Squirrel White left Alabama game due to shoulder injury
White initially injured his shoulder in the 19-14 loss at Arkansas on October 5. He played while dealing with the injury the last two games, in the 23-17 overtime win over Florida and the 24-17 win over Alabama.
White didn’t record a catch against Alabama before leaving the game in the second half after falling hard on the injured shoulder. He had a season-high seven catches at Arkansas for 38 yards and had a season-high 71 yards two weeks ago against Florida.
Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said during his bye week press conference last week that White was “limited” during practice last Wednesday but that thought he would be ready for the Kentucky game this week.
“Feel like Squirrel will be ready to roll and when we get to the next football game,” Heupel said.

SEC Injury Reports
The SEC in August announced “availability reports” for football, basketball and baseball.
“This availability reporting policy is intended to reduce pressure from outside entities seeking participation information,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, “and represents a commitment of our 16 institutions to provide enhanced transparency to support efforts to protect our student-athletes and the integrity of competition.”
Players will be listed as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for their next game. On game day the updates will include available, game-time decision or out.
Schools of who fail to provide accurate and timely availability reports will be subject to penalties from $25,000, for first-time offenders, to $100,000 for “third and further” offenses in football. Men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball fines will be between $15,000 and $25,000.
