Tennessee reportedly loses senior starter for indefinite period of time

Another serious hit to the defense for these guys.

Tennessee has been bitten by the injury bug pretty hard this year and it looks like it has struck yet again. Senior linebacker Cortez McDowell is reportedly going to be out indefinitely with a wrist injury:

McDowell had 24 total tackles in his three games so far this year with one of them coming for a loss. He had 54 total tackles last season, four tackles for loss and and an interception.
