The Tennessee Vols' matchup with the Florida Gators got a little tougher on Saturday morning.
ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that Tennessee wide receiver Cedric Tillman won't play against the Gators on Saturday.
According to Thamel, the Vols are hoping Tillman can return to face LSU on October 8 after Tennessee's bye week.
Tillman, who has 18 receptions for 267 yards and three touchdowns, is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in last week's win against Akron.
Thamel reported that Ramel Keyton is expected to start in Tillman's place. Walker Merrill is also expected to see an increased role.
Tillman is one of the best wide receivers in the nation so his absence will certainly hurt UT's offense.
But the Vols' have a solid group of wide receivers. Bru McMcoy and Jalin Hyatt are more than capable of doing damage against the Gators.
