Over the past few weeks, Milton has been dealing with a lingering injury that significantly impacted his mobility, as evidenced by his almost immobile performance against South Carolina just two weeks ago.

A pivotal aspect of the Vols’ offensive strategy hinges on Milton’s ability to utilize his legs, evade pressure in the pocket, and make dynamic plays with his athleticism. With a bye week offering a much-needed rest, the hope is that Milton has utilized this time wisely to focus on his recovery and prepare himself for this pivotal showdown against Texas A&M.

His ability to regain his mobility and lead the offense effectively could be a game-changer for Tennessee football this weekend.
