The Tennessee Vols falling outside of the Top 25 and another football injury headline the Volunteers news for Monday, Sept. 18, 2017.

Condolences to every Tennessee Vols football fan who has to show up for work on this Monday after such a heartbreaking loss to the Florida Gators Saturday. Whether you show up angry because of the stupid coaching or just depressed over the loss, it’s got to be a rough first day of the work week.

As we get set to bring you the news on Rocky Top, the effects from Tennessee’s 26-20 loss in The Swamp lead our updates. In fact, they’re two-thirds of our updates today.

So yes, to make your Monday worse, we’re filling it with mostly bad news about the Vols. However, they scored one win on Sunday from a program with a competent leader.

We’ll get to that, but we have to start with the depressing football news.

"Sources on Sunday night indicated to GoVols247 that McDowell was dealing with a significant wrist injury that likely will require surgery and thus is expected to sideline him for a lengthy period of time."
