KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) β Tennessee’s offense may be missing two starters Saturday when the Volunteers play at No. 4 Oklahoma.
Vols coach Butch Jones said at his Monday news conference that wide receiver Von Pearson won’t play Saturday because of a high ankle sprain. Jones also said tight end Ethan Wolf has a bruised knee that leaves him questionable for the Oklahoma game.
Pearson hurt his ankle while blocking for receiver Alton “Pig” Howard in the first half of Saturday’s 34-19 victory over Arkansas State. Jones said “we anticipate getting him back very soon.” Wolf hurt his knee while getting tackled after a short completion in the third quarter.
Pearson has seven catches for 98 yards and a touchdown through the first two games of the season. Wolf has eight receptions for 46 yards.
