Grant Ramey: Practice closed to media after 2 periods. Evan Berry takes kick back, butch ends period 2 early on that note. Then yells PRACTICE IS CLOSED!
So Evan Berry was back. Looked back on Friday per snapchat. Freshman WR Brandon Johnson back in practice, in green. Alexis Johnson there too

From when we last saw practice, Dillon Bates, Evan Berry, Carlin Fils-aime, Brandon Johnson and Jack Jones were all back. Still, several others were out.
Alexis Johnson was at practice and from watching him go through drills he's pretty rusty. He will need to lose some weight to be ready to help and while they will try and get him up to speed as quickly as possible I think it's anyone's guess as to when he will be back.
FortTuttle was in full gear today and looks to be getting better and moving better.
Evan Berry looked good in the time we saw him and the hope is he's over the hamstring injury that's limited him during camp.
HubbsAlexis Johnson was in full gear on the practice field. Johnson still has to do some things to get completely reinstated but he was practicing with the team on Monday. Fellow defensive tackle Shy Tuttle was in full gear working giving more optimism to the thought that Tuttle could be ready for a few snaps a week from Thursday. We will see. Another defensive lineman dressed in full gear for practice was redshirt freshman Andrew Butcher.
In the secondary after battling a tender hamstring Evan Berry was back on the practice field on Monday. The start of the week workout also saw the return of receiver Brandon Johnson and freshman Carlin Fils-Aime.
The Vols opened the practice with special teams work fielding punts and kickoffs will it was technique work for the defensive linemen and offensive linemen as they hit the sleds and worked on pad leverage.

Reeves-Maybin said earlier Monday that hes still not sure if his shoulder is 100 percent.
Hurd, meanwhile, said earlier this fall that the coaches are making him wear the green jersey.
GriffithGame Helmets
Tennessee broke out its game helmets for the first time this fall. This is the fourth season the Vols have used different helmets for games than from practice, largely in an effort to reduce the maintenance needed to be performed on the equipment.
Scouting Report
Scouts from the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Washington Redskins were in attendance at Tennessees practice, which was closed to the media after two periods.
RuckerFreshman running back Carlin Fils-aime was back on the field, albeit in a green, limited-contact jersey and a big club over his injured right hand. But he was back out there, which was good for the Vols.
Freshman wide receiver Brandon Johnson (hamstring) also was back on the field, albeit in a green, limited-contact jersey. Johnson seemed to be running around just fine, but admittedly we didnt see a ton.
Sophomore defensive tackle Shy Tuttle also seemed to be in full pads for the first time this preseason at least the first time with media on the field, anyway.
Sophomore linebacker Dillon Bates also was on the field in his regular, orange practice jersey after missing a couple of days with an undisclosed, minor injury.
CallahanIn addition to Berry, sophomore safety Micah Abernathy, freshman wide receiver Tyler Byrd, junior cornerback D.J. Henderson and freshman cornerback Marquill Osborne fielded kickoffs during some of Tennessees early special-teams work.
Junior running back Jalen Hurd wore a green, no-contact jersey but participated in early drills with the running backs, as did sophomore John Kelly and freshman Jeremy Lewis.
