Josh Heupel ‘not sure’ if Hendon Hooker will be available for Missouri game

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel is not sure if Hendon Hooker will be available for the Missouri game.

Tennessee (2-2, 0-1 SEC) will play at Missouri (2-2, 0-1 SEC) Saturday in Week 5.

Kickoff is slated for noon EDT and SEC Network will televise the matchup.

Tennessee enters the game after suffering a 38-14 loss at Florida. During the loss to Florida, starting quarterback Hendon Hooker suffered an injury and was replaced by Joe Milton III.

First-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media on Monday and discussed Hooker’s status ahead of playing at Missouri.

“There were multiple guys that had injuries or got nicked up during the course of the ball game the other night,” Heupel said. “Don’t know where those guys are at.

“Hendon at quarterback, not sure if he’ll be available or not, so we’ll see how that transpires here during the course of the week and go from there.”
