Report: UT safety Todd Kelly Jr. to have MRI for ankle injury
There may not be another team in the country with the amount of injuries suffered when compared to Tennessee.
On Saturday against Kentucky, yet another Vol was injured:
UT safety Todd Kelly Jr., team's leading tackler, has apparent ankle sprain. Not thought to be serious. Will have MRI likely Sunday

Kelly Jr. is unquestionably one of Tennessee’s best players. The junior out of Knoxville leads the team with 67 tackles. He’s also accrued two interceptions, 2.0 tackles-for-loss, two pass-breakups and one forced fumble.
It’s still feasible to believe Tennessee will square off against Alabama in the conference title game. The Vols will need some help — namely in terms of LSU beating Florida next week. If this happens, Tennessee will reach Atlanta — assuming it wins out.
If such a scenario does occur, it’ll need a healthy Kelly Jr. going forward.
