K’Rojhn Calbert will not be with Tennessee ‘for an extended period of time’

K’Rojhn Calbert will not be with Tennessee for an extended period of time.

Tennessee has practiced eight times during fall training camp.

The Vols scrimmaged for the first time during camp on Thursday.

Following Thursday’s scrimmage, first-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media and provided an update on redshirt senior offensive lineman K’Rojhn Calbert.

“K’Rojhn did have surgery and will not be with us for an extended period of time right now,” Heupel said. “I’ve said it before, the strength of one position can’t just be one guy, certainly offensive line.

“Next guy has to step up and take advantage of his opportunity and, at the end of the day, compete and prove that he can play at a championship level.”

Tennessee will return to the practice field on Saturday.
