Tennessee true freshman offensive lineman David Sanders is out vs Syracuse.

The Tennessee Volunteers are already going to be without starting defensive tackle Daevin Hobbs vs Syracuse, and now they are going to be down another starter, this time on offense. It has been reported that true freshman offensive tackle David Sanders is out for the game, first reported by Austin Price. Sanders was banged up during practice this week and will be held out.

Sanders if a former five-star prospect that was expected to start for Tennessee this season. The Volunteers lost multiple offensive linemen this offseason, so being down a starter in the first game is not ideal.

A timeline for Sanders' return has not yet been announced.
