— Tennessee Football (@Vol_Football) October 28, 2015
. @UTCoachJones: They've handled it extremely well, & that's kind of been our philosophy from Day 1 (along OL). Playing w/ lot of confidence

Justin Martin will start at corner, per Jones.
— Jonathan Toye (@JonathanToye1) October 28, 2015
CBJ: We had one of our better Tuesday practices. I thought we were energetic. Everything in football isn't just rah-rah.
— Seth Stokes (@SethStokesTSE) October 28, 2015
Butch says the offensive line has handled the shuffling due to injuries "exceptionally well."
— Patrick Brown (@patrickbrownTFP) October 28, 2015
. @UTCoachJones: IT's all about focusing on the opponent. New year, new fball team. We can't get ourselves focusing on the past (UK series)
— John Brice (@John_BriceVQ) October 28, 2015
Jones asked about George Bullock. Said he's done well at practice, but it's consistency in performance.
— Dustin Dopirak (@TennesseeBeat) October 28, 2015
Stephen Griffin is out with an ankle injury.
— Daily Beacon Sports (@UTKBeaconSports) October 28, 2015
Jones said Stephen Griffin's injury is an ankle. Said he sprained it early in the year, worked his way back, then reaggravated it.
— Dustin Dopirak (@TennesseeBeat) October 28, 2015
Jones: "Medley has not missed one kick in practice this week. He is very locked in."
— TNJN Sports (@TNJNsports) October 28, 2015
Butch compares Aaron Medley's struggles from long range to that of a golfer. Sometimes he says Medley "overswings."
— Cory Gunkel (@CoryGunkel) October 28, 2015
Jones said Kyle Phillips has been available the last two weeks, but they didn't want to risk his health.
— Dustin Dopirak (@TennesseeBeat) October 28, 2015
CBJ: The key to being a great kick off returner is the ability to steal five yards. Have the ability to catch the ball moving forward.
— Seth Stokes (@SethStokesTSE) October 28, 2015
Evan Berry has the green light to bring kicks out of the end zone, but it depends on depth and location and Berry's own choice.
