Bru McCoy, Squirrel White, Dont’e Thornton injury update for Tennessee vs Florida

Tennessee football wide receivers Dont’e Thornton, Bru McCoy and Squirrel White are on the injury list for the Florida game.

Thornton is questionable on the SEC student-athlete availability report, released Wednesday night. McCoy and White are listed as probable.

McCoy and White are multiyear starters, and Thornton has been UT’s most productive receiver this season. They were injured in the Vols’ 19-14 loss at Arkansas last week.

On Monday, coach Josh Heupel said their injuries were not “long term” or “season ending.”

McCoy appeared to suffer a hand injury against Arkansas, and he had a wrap or cast on it at the end of the game. White appeared to suffer an upper-body injury, and he was wearing a sling over his shoulder. Thornton limped off the field in the third quarter.

No. 9 Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) plays Florida (3-2, 1-1) on Saturday (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Neyland Stadium.

Here’s the SEC student-athlete availability report for Tennessee and Florida players.
