Volquest: Austin Rogers will miss the season with a (likely) torn*ACL - Rocky Top Talk

Not a huge loss in my opinion.

Granted, Rogers didn't have a big year last year, but he was a guy capable of catching 50+ balls in a year. Not sure how you can say that's not a big loss.

Well in the Fulmer era, in my opinion he took the spot of more capable receivers that rode the bench. He is a depth chart loss if we are trying to play the best players.

He could catch balls from Erik Ainge. We need athletes to catch Crompton's passes. Haha

I don't think its a huge loss because I don't think Kiffin was going to give him the PT that he has gotten in the past.

He will be missed, and it is a big loss. As depleted as our depth chart is, anyone and everyone is needed this year.

I thought UT had already lost like 3 or 4 WR's... it has to be tough to lose one with that much experience. That's probably not the biggest loss, though... UT only had 8 TD passes last season, and Denarius Moore, who just broke his left foot yesterday or today, caught 2 of them. Tennessee Volunteers receiver Austin Rogers out for season; Denarius Moore likely out for eight to 12 weeks - ESPN

Now losing Denarius Moore is a loss. He is our 3rd or 4th receiver. We do still have Jones, Hancock, and Warren along with incoming freshmen Richardson and maybe Teague if they decide to put him on offense. Hopefully Moore can recover from the injury and come back midseason. We need him.

On a good note, Bryce is impressing people with his work ethic and maturity apparently. More bad news for the Vols at receiver - SEC - ESPN

No way Bryce Brown? He is way too cocky to have maturity and work ethic....
