Tennessee RB out

Tennessee (5-2, 2-2 SEC) won’t have the services of running back Alvin Kamara this week as it attempts to begin a third consecutive late-season surge. Volunteers Coach Butch Jones said Monday that an injury would prevent Kamara from playing Saturday at South Carolina (3-4, 1-4). Jones didn’t say what Kamara’s injury was but expects the junior to return in the next couple of weeks. Kamara, one of four team captains, has rushed for 313 yards and 3 touchdowns on 64 carries this season. Kamara also has 22 receptions for 260 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he’s averaging 10.2 yards per punt return on 18 attempts.
