KNOXVILLE - Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Wednesday that junior receiver Jauan Jennings is out "indefinitely" after suffering an injury in Monday's season-opening victory over Georgia Tech.

"we're still kind of waiting on his injury," Jones said on the SEC Weekly Media Teleconference.

Jones also said that safety and kick returner Evan Berry and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers are "questionable" as the Volunteers prepare to play Indiana State in Saturday's home opener at Neyland Stadium.

Jennings was injured in the first half of Tennessee's 42-41 win over Georgia Tech. Berry and Vickers were injured in the second half.

Jones said on the teleconference he was proud of the team's resiliency in the game.

He also added, "We have a lot of things to get cleaned up in a hurry."
