Tennessee five-star freshman receiver TK Keys was limited during spring practice and was limited during Wednesday’s opening workout of preseason camp.
That does not appear to be the case for long.
“Physically, I’m there,” Keys said in a news conference that followed the first practice in Knoxville. “We’re going through a little process now, but I should be back this week. We should hit the ground running.”
That optimism was shared by Volunteers sixth-year coach Josh Heupel, who said: “He’ll be full go. There were a couple of things that we’re just wanting to manage here on day one and day two, but he’s ready to go.”
Keys was the nation’s No. 1 receiver in the 2026 signing class, with the 6-foot-2, 198-pounder from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, checking in as the 13th overall prospect in the 247Sports.com composite rankings. His senior season of high school was hindered by a knee injury, but Keys said Tennessee’s medical staff took care of that earlier this year.
