Aug 15, 2026, 10:20 AM ET

Tennessee will be without starting safety Edrees Farooq (knee) for the entire 2026 season after the junior suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee during Friday's practice. Farooq was expected to play a big role in new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles' system after starting 13 games last season and ranking second in the SEC with four forced fumbles. The Volunteers will now turn to transfers TJ Metcalf, Qua Moss, and Dejuan Lane to help fill the void in the secondary.--Joe Nicely - RotoBaller
