Sophomore offensive lineman Cooper Mays left Tennessee’s Week 1 game early due to injury against Bowling Green.
He started for the Vols at center.
First-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media for the final time ahead of playing Pittsburgh Saturday in the Johnny Majors Classic (noon EDT, ESPN).
Heupel provided an update on the 6-foot-3, 295-pound offensive lineman.
“If Cooper wasn’t able to play, you would see a little more rotation there this week,” Heupel said. “Here in the last 48 hours, Coop has made some really good jumps, so we will find out Saturday morning where he is at, whether he is able to go or not.”
