Huge Blow for Tennessee: Sack Leader Tyree Weathersby Done for the Season

Just when things were looking up for the Vols, another setback arrives.

Tyree Weathersby will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in Saturday's 34–6 win over Kentucky. According to On3's Austin Price, the news is confirmed.

Weathersby leads Tennessee with seven sacks and has been a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Losing that kind of pass rush heading into the final stretch is a serious problem for Josh Heupel and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles.

Xavier Gilliam and Mariyon Dye will need to take on more responsibility, with Texas A&M next on the schedule.

Can Tennessee's defensive line maintain its pressure without Weathersby, or will this injury derail the Vols' playoff hopes?
