Guess that explains Couch having "heat exhaustion" and being out for the Oregon game.

Oh Shoot. NOW I'm worried.
However, where are you getting these other players are out from the story you link, OD?

Maggit was already questionable and Young will be out for several weeks. Don't know about the others.

I don't know who Bowels is. They need to move him. |

I don't know who Bowels is. They need to move him. Drae Bowles, 4 star WR from Jackson. Was supposed to be one of those guys who was ready to step on campus and help immediately. Unfortunately, he looks a lot more like a Brian Darden/OJ Owens type than he looks like a potential starter, much less star, at this point. |

Wideout worries If Pig Howard, who missed practice on Wednesday, can't play against the Ducks, Tennessee could be down two slot receivers with Devrin Young (broken hand) already on the shelf.
Johnathon Johnson, the 5-foot-9, 176-pound junior college transfer, would take over in the slot. He's caught four passes for 70 yards this season, including a big 37-yard reception against Western Kentucky. Should Howard be unable to go, the Vols possibly could start three receivers -- North, Johnson and either Jason Croom or Josh Smith -- who have never caught a pass in college game before this season for their first road game. "The good thing is I think coach [Butch] Jones has done a great job of preparing us," Azzanni said. "You guys are at practice. It's chaos, a lot. The reason it's like that is to prepare them, hopefully, as much as we can for games like this. "This league is crazy as it is, and being able to go to Oregon, and let's be honest, it's SEC environment, an SEC caliber team, so this is going to be a great, great test on where we're at with that stuff." More on Mo One day after he left practice for what Jones called an overheating problem, defensive tackle Mo Couch was implicated in a Yahoo! report as one of five SEC players to receive extra benefits from former Alabama defensive end Luther Davis, who is alleged by a source "with ties to the NFL agent community" to have acted as a middle man between the players and multiple agents and financial advisers, according to the report. Couch walked through Tennessee's Neyland-Thompson Sports Complex as Tuesday's practice ended with a towel on his head, and he did not return to practice on Wednesday. Jones said during his weekly radio show on Wednesday night that Couch wouldn't play at Oregon. "Mo Couch had an injury in practice with heat exhaustion, and he didn't even practice today due to that heat exhaustion," Jones said. "We expected him back, but he couldn't go. Right now it looks like he probably won't even be able to play, and that's all injury-related." |

I think OD is mixing and matching stories. Howard must be injured though I can't find any news of that online.

I don't see Howard not playing as a loss. He's shown me nothing.
I noticed Croom wasn't one of the listed starters. Very surprising.
