Tennessee: Tennessee vs. Georgia Injury Report: List of players injured

The Tennessee Volunteers take on the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens this weekend in a Top 25 showdown in the Southeastern Conference. For the first time in a while, the SEC is wide open, making every ranked conference matchup more crucial down the stretch of the season.

Tennessee checks in as the No. 7 team in the country with an 8-1 record overall and a 5-1 record in conference play. The Volunteers are coming off a 33-14 win over Mississippi State last weekend.

The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are lingering around SEC contention with a 7-2 record on the season and a 5-1 record in the SEC. Georgia is looking to bounce back after an abysmal 28-10 loss versus Ole Miss last week.
