Tennessee Defensive Lineman Daevin Hobbs Exits South Carolina Game

Tennessee defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs left the Vols' game against South Carolina, according to a Yahoo Sports injury update. The available report gives no detail on what happened, how the departure occurred, or whether Hobbs was able to return.

Losing a defensive lineman during a game matters for Tennessee because it changes the rotation up front for the remainder of the contest. Without Hobbs available for at least part of the game, the Vols would have to lean more heavily on the remaining linemen in the group.

No information on the nature or severity of any issue, or on Hobbs' status going forward, was provided in the material available for this update. Any further word on his condition would have to come from a subsequent report.
