KNOXVILLE -Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Monday that senior kick returner and safety Evan Berry will miss the rest of the season.
Berry returned the opening kickoff of last week’s win against Southern Mississippi 46 yards but was injured during the game. It was Berry’s first kick return since the season opener against Georgia Tech. Berry suffered an undisclosed injury in that game that sidelined him for most of this season.
Tennessee (4-5, 0-5 SEC) plays at Missouri (4-5, 1-4 SEC) on Saturday night.
Berry was a preseason All-American. He has returned four kickoffs for touchdowns in his career while also seeing action as a reserve safety.
Jones said that quarterback Jarrett Guarantano and cornerback Shawn Shamburger are probable for the Missouri game. Offensive linemen Drew Richmond and Brett Kendrick and wide receiver Marquez Callaway are questionable. Offensive lineman Marcus Tatum will be out.
