Tennessee cancelled its scheduled Thursday morning practice session as the Vols work through the grind of fall camp. According to the schedule, they will be back on the practice field Thursday night at 6:50 in a session that is closed to the media.
Camp has clearly taken its toll on the Vols despite being just over a week old. A total of 18 players were absent during the open portion of Wednesday’s practice session. Most of the injuries are believe to be minor, though the Vols have lost guard Marcus Jackson for what will possibly be the season with an injury in camp already.
Rumors and a report circulated on Thursday morning that receiver Marquez North may have sustained a serious injury in Wednesday’s practice.
Here’s what we’ve been told via a source: North did, indeed, sustain an injury early during practice on Wednesday. After the injury, North spent the rest of Wednesday’s session on the training table observing practice, but was not in any noticeable pain. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. We can confirm that much, but anything else at this point is speculation.
