Crowder left the game after trainers helped him off the field following a pile-up in the third quarter. Jones added that Tennessee will also evaluate the redshirt junior’s left knee. Crowder has started in all ten games for the Vols.
Sanders has made three appearances for Tennessee as a backup left guard to junior Marcus Johnson. The redshirt freshman rated as a four-star offensive tackle and the No. 8 prospect in Tennessee, according to Rivals.com
Both players’ statuses for the Vols upcoming game against Missouri has yet to be determined.
