Tennessee’s Marquez North carries against Arkansas State.KNOXVILLE — Tennessee coach Butch Jones expects two pieces of the Volunteers’ offense to return to practice today.
Receiver Marquez North (shoulder) and tailback Marlin Lane (leg) should be back at practice later today, Jones said on the SEC coaches teleconference on Wednesday.
North did not have a catch in last week’s overtime win at South Carolina, and Lane left the game in the third quarter after a defender tackling him rolled up on his legs and left the stadium on crutches.
“Marlin Lane is back practicing,” Jones said, “and we really were concerned that it was a very significant injury Saturday night, but he’ll be going through practice today. Marquez North will be participating in practice today.
“We fully anticipate having them next week.”
