Pair of Vols Out for Undisclosed Reasons Against South Carolina

As the Vols prepare for their Week 6 matchup against South Carolina, it seemed they were going to be without two members of their secondary in leading tackler Theo Jackson and reserve STAR Doneiko Slaughter, per the Vol Network. Slaughter is still thought to be out, but Jackson took the field for pre-game warmups and is dressed with the team, giving in an indication that No. 26 will give it a go. It is unclear if Jackson will be limited. 

Jackson leads Tennessee in tackles this season with 37, ten over sohis availability will play a big role in how the Vols secondary looks today against the Gamecocks. 

UPDATE: The Vols will also be without reserve cornerback Christian Charles against South Carolina, as the freshman playmaker was added to the injury report prior to kickoff.
