Tennessee WR Mike Matthews was injured in first half against Texas A&M and it doesn’t look good for the Vols
The hits keep on coming for the Tennessee Volunteers.
A cursed week got even worse for Tennessee on Saturday in the first half against Texas A&M.
The Vols were already unexpectedly without left guard Nic Moore (illness), running back Daune Morris (broken leg in car crash two nights before the game), defensive lineman Tyree Weathersby (torn ACL last week against Kentucky), and defensive lineman JJ Finch (family related) on Saturday against the Aggies.
Tennessee took another big hit when wide receiver Mike Matthews went down with a knee injury in the second quarter against Texas A&M.
The Vols were moving the ball down the field thanks to Matthews — two catches for 42 yards on the drive he was hurt on — but it looks like he won’t be returning to the game.
Matthews was seen on crutches before halftime.
It’s unwise to speculate on what the injury is just yet, but that obviously doesn’t look good for the rest of the season for Matthews.
The Georgia native is the Vols’ most dynamic playmaker. Tennessee’s offense isn’t quite the same without him on the field.
But as Josh Heupel said at halftime, it’s the next man up for the Vols now.
