Tennessee football is down four players in the two-deep for Saturday afternoon’s matchup at Neyland Stadium against Texas A&M. Defensive tackle Omarr-Norman Lott, linebacker Keenan Pili, safety Christian Charles and left guard Andrej Karic are all inactive against the Aggies.
Omarr Norman-Lott is missing his first game of the season after exiting the South Carolina game with an injury two weeks ago. Expect more opportunities for Bryson Eason, Daevin Hobbs and Omari Thomas in Norman-Lott’s absence.
Keenan Pili is missing his fifth straight game after suffering an upper body injury in the Vols’ season opener against Virginia. Elijah Herring is earning his fifth straight start in Pili’s place while Arion Carter, Jeremiah Telander and Kalib Perry are expected to earn linebacker snaps.
Karic has played off-and-on at left guard this season before missing the South Carolina game with an injury. Ollie Lane will exclusively start at left guard against the Aggies.
Christian Charles is a backup safety and is missing his fourth straight game. Andre Turrentine is the next man up at safety behind Wesley Walker and Jaylen McCollough.
Kickoff at Neyland Stadium is at 3:40 p.m. ET. Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jenny Dell are on the call for CBS.
