Butch Jones anticipates Chance Hall, Jalen Reeves-Maybin to play vs. Florida
Published:
Tennessee could get two key players back just in time for its colossal showdown with Florida this weekend.
Offensive tackle Chance Hall and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin are looking healthy and coach Butch Jones “fully anticipates” both of them to play.
“We’re excited about that,” Jones said, per the Times Free Press. “Jalen (Reeves-Maybin) had a very good, productive practice as well. We fully anticipate them both playing on Saturday, and they had good, physical practices yesterday. That’s very, very encouraging.”
Hall has been recovering from knee surgery after sustaining injury during fall camp in August and should compete for a starting position on the offensive line right away. Reeves-Maybin left the game against Ohio with an undisclosed shoulder injury in the second quarter, but looks to return to his defensive post vs. the Gators.
The two teams are set to kick off in Knoxville on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
