Tennessee football held another practice on Thursday. The offensive line is coming together, but a few defensive players still need to get healthy. Also, the actual play was an issue after Thursday’s practice, which could be a bit of a concern for the Vols with the season right around the corner.

"Tennessee’s football team is getting healthier, and now it needs to get better. In a hurry. The No. 25-ranked Vols open the season in 10 days against Georgia Tech at 8 p.m. on Sept. 4 in Atlanta’s new Mercedes-Benz Stadium."
