(AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)KNOXVILLE — Tennessee is dealing with the suspension of a starter for the second game of the young season.
Head coach Butch Jones announced Wednesday that defensive tackle Danny O’Brien will be suspended for Saturday’s game against No. 19 Oklahoma for violating team rules and policy.
“There’s been no timetable set for his return,” he said.
Jones declined to say if the suspension would cost O’Brien multiple games.
“I’m not going to speculate,” he said. “It’s ongoing and we’ll see. We’re going to support Dan through this whole deal.”
