Tennessee receives final injury update for Qua Moss, Sham Umarov
Published:
The Tennessee Volunteers are back home this weekend following last Saturday’s 20-17 loss to Texas. The Vols, in search of their first SEC win, are welcoming the Auburn Tigers and former offensive coordinator Alex Golesh to town. They’re also going to be without a number of key contributors for the game.
Saturday afternoon, the SEC released its final availability report for the Auburn-Tennessee contest. Head coach Josh Heupel’s team will be missing 10 players, including running back Javin Gordon, defensive back Qua Moss and offensive lineman Sham Umarov.
Gordon, a sophomore from Toccoa, GA, has not played since Week 2 due to a leg injury. He received 10 carries in each of Tennessee’s first two contests. Moss, a senior defender, ranks third on the team in solo tackles (13). He left last week’s game against the Longhorns after taking a knee to the helmet and has reportedly been in concussion protocol. His 57-yard punt return touchdown knotted Texas and Tennessee at 10-10 in the fourth quarter.
Umarov, a starting offensive lineman, has not had his injury disclosed. His absence comes after the Vols allowed 10 sacks in Week 4. Auburn and Tennessee face off at 3:30 p.m. E.T. (ESPN).
