KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee football will be missing a key piece the rest of this season on the defensive side of the ball.
Vols head coach Josh Heupel said starting cornerback Warren Burrell will miss the rest of the season following upper body surgery. The senior started the first two games of the season for UT but was injured during the Pittsburgh game and hasn't played since. Burrell started every game last season for UT.
Before his injury, Burrell had 12 total tackles and one pass breakup.
He still has two years remaining of eligibility, according to Tennessee Athletics.
Cornerback Christian Charles started in his place for the Akron and Florida games. Dee Williams is listed behind Burrell on the depth chart but has yet to play this season.
