University of Tennessee at Chattanooga coach Russ Huesman said following Tuesday’s practice that running back Erroll Wynn and wide receiver Jeff Veres have been suspended for Saturday’s season opener.
Wynn, a fifth-year senior, is out for “violation of team policy,” Huesman said. Veres, a redshirt sophomore walk-on, was suspended for his July 31 arrest in Nashville on charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and underage drinking.
Huesman said that right now their suspensions are for one game, but they could be extended.
Wynn started 24 straight games before redshirting last season. He has 1,804 career yards and seven touchdowns. His absence shouldn’t hurt the running game much since he was already behind sophomores J.J. Jackson, who will start, and Chris Awauh on the depth chart.
The Mocs also have true freshman running back Keon Williams ready to play against No. 3 Appalachian State as well.
