The Vols do have quality depth at both wide receiver and tight end, where they endured nasty-looking injuries to junior college phenom Von Pearson and freshman tight end Ethan Wolf against Arkansas State. Pearson tweeted out it would be a "minor setback," and a couple of different program sources indicated Pearson might not be as seriously injured as initially feared.
Wolf, whom one former Vol player already said looks like he possesses NFL potential, absorbed an even more eye-closing, stomach-churning hit to his knee. But optimistic word inside the Vols' locker room was that Wolf's injury would be only a "knee contusion," and he told UT personnel he was OK when he walked off the field at game's end --- without crutches or ice on the knee.
