The Tennessee football team has its fair share of injuries — more than its opponent Saturday, Florida football.

Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt is already at a disadvantage over Florida football this weekend.

The Volunteers are looking at eight players out for either injury or suspension and are either out or questionable for Saturday’s game in Gainesville.

One player, however, defensive back Bryce Thompson, is traveling with the team after his indefinite suspension was lifted last week by Pruitt.

Here’s a look at the latest injury report for the Tennessee Volunteers, according to USA Today.

Out

Jordan Allen, linebacker

Allen is expected to miss “an extended period” after having surgery to repair a torn hip flexor.

Baylen Buchanan, defensive back

In August, Buchanan was put on the injured list after being diagnosed with a narrowing of the spine. He is projected to be out indefinitely.
