Another Tennessee Vols football practice, Evan Berry and another injury lead the Volunteers news for Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2017.

Happy Hump Day to everybody! The Tennessee Vols football season is set to begin in just 19 days, and things cannot get more exciting in Vol Nation.

As we get set to bring you the news on Rocky Top for today, our coverage focuses on Tennessee football.

Butch Jones led an event-filled practice on Tuesday, and there’s a personnel topic to discuss. An unfortunate injury also took some headlines on Tuesday.

But let’s start with the practice recap.

Tennessee Vols hold 13th fall camp practice – UTSports

Tennessee football had a lot of things happen at its 13th practice for fall camp ahead of the 2017 preseason. The Vols surprised tight end Eli Wolf, the redshirt sophomore and brother of Ethan Wolf, with a scholarship. The freshman running backs all drew the eyes of the coaches and veterans. And the defense got the accolades once again from practice.

"Tennessee football head coach Butch Jones, assistant head coach Robert Gillespie and three student-athletes spoke to reporters after Tuesday’s fall camp practice at Haslam Field."

Tennessee Vols could potentially use Evan Berry on offense – Patrick Brown, GoVols247

Evan Berry is already a superstar kick returner for Tennessee football and is looking to get into the rotation at safety for the Vols. But Butch Jones is now hinting that he could turn to Berry on offense on specific plays. Given how talented the guy is in open space, it’s not a bad idea.

"Butch Jones said one of his primary goals for Tennessee’s scrimmage on Wednesday will be to identify more playmakers on offense.If the head coach of the Vols still thinks his team is a little lacking in that department, he doesn’t have to look far to add another potential playmaker to the arsenal."

Tennessee football suffered another blow on the injury front after losing freshman wide receiver Jacquez Jones to a season-ending injury. Jones, a three-star as a member of the Tennessee Vols 2017 recruiting class, did not figure to be much of a factor in the rotation this year. However, the injury is still a tough break.

"Tennessee has lost freshman wide receiver Jacquez Jones for the season with a knee injury.UT coach Butch Jones made the announcement after Tuesday’s football practice at Haslam Field."
