So how effective is that arm going to be? I guess I don't really understand the injury but will a one-armed tackle help us or hurt us? OR, does he still have 75% use rather than close to 0%.

Sweet. Sucks that it's only for one game, but it's one more than we thought this time yesterday.

So will Harrel have his number on his helmet twice?

Seriously, that would be a little strange.

according to an orthopedic book i am currently studying for PT school, "patients with rutpure of the biceps tendon can lose approx. 10% of elbow flexion and forearm supination strength (the motion required to use a manual screwdriver)."

nonsurgical treatment is effective for most patients with a biceps rupture, but obviously in Harrell's case his future career in football warrants surgical repair.

thanks

So he is maybe 10% down on strength and lost some flexibility in one arm? He could still be pretty effective sounds like.

This guy is the man, talk about sackin' up. He gets an honorable mention on my all-time favorite VOLS list now.

almost brings me to tears, this guy is risking alot going out on that football field just so he can play onemore game (the biggest game for tn in my mind) if we dont win and nobody shows up to play i will not be happy, this should be a message to the whole team

Vols' Harrell puts surgery on hold, will play vs. Gators
By Mark Schlabach
ESPN.com

How much does Saturday's game against No. 6 Florida mean to Tennessee defensive tackle Justin Harrell?

So much that the potential NFL first-round draft choice postponed surgery on his torn left biceps Wednesday so he can play against the Gators in a key SEC showdown at Neyland Stadium on Saturday night.

Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer told reporters in Knoxville, Tenn., that Harrell will definitely have surgery next week and won't play in any of the No. 13 Volunteers' remaining nine regular-season games.

Harrell, an All-SEC pick with 7 1/2 sacks last season, was declared out for the rest of the season by the school on Sunday. He was injured in the Volunteers' 31-30 victory over Air Force last week. But after doctors assured Harrell that he could do no further damage to his arm by playing against the Gators, Harrell persuaded Fulmer to let him play against the Gators.

Harrell, the Volunteers' best defensive lineman and pass rusher, participated in parts of the team's practice on Wednesday.

Cornerback Inquoris "Inky" Johnson, who underwent surgery to repair vascular and nerve damage in his right shoulder, was released from a Knoxville hospital on Wednesday. Johnson is scheduled to have surgery to repair the nerve damage at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

Also, the Volunteers might be without starting tailback Arian Foster, who has been bothered by a sprained ankle, when they play the Gators. If Foster can't play, he would be replaced by Montario Hardesty, who ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games.

Absolutely amazing. Talk about "giving your all for TN" and creating a rallying cry! Look out Gators.
