Ahead of Tennessee’s game against Florida Saturday, UT head coach Jeremy Pruitt provided an update on the health of Cimaglia.

“He’s working to get there,” Pruitt said of Cimaglia being fully healthy. “I don’t know for sure that he is. He came back when we got here in June with a little bit of a knee injury and he’s worked his way through it throughout the season.

“Again, he’s a guy that we believe in. He’s been almost automatic since we’ve been here, and when he’s healthy he’s one of the best players in the country at that position.”
