Tennessee defender Tyree Weathersby hurt in South Carolina loss

Tennessee defensive player Tyree Weathersby was hurt during the Volunteers' loss to South Carolina, according to reporting from A to Z Sports. The report describes Weathersby as one of Tennessee's best defensive players this season, which makes any time he misses a significant concern for the defense.

The available reporting does not include details about the nature of the injury or how long Weathersby might be out. Without that information, it is not yet clear what his status will be for Tennessee's upcoming games or how the coaching staff might adjust if he cannot play.

For Tennessee, the development adds an injury question on defense following a loss. Any update on Weathersby's condition will matter as the Volunteers prepare for their next opponent and assess who is available on that side of the ball.
