Tennessee players reportedly involved in fight during practice

Things just keep getting worse for the Vols.

Things seem to be getting worse each day on Rocky Top.

Coming off one of the worst losses in program history and having their head coach seemingly facing an inevitable firing, Tennessee linemen Trey Smith and Darrell Taylor reportedly got into a fight during Thursday's practice.

The incident was originally reported by Twitter user "Illated94" on Thursday night and later confirmed by WNML's Jimmy Hyams through sources.

According to Hyams' source, Smith's helmet reportedly came off while pancaking Taylor during a drill. The two wrestled, which led to Taylor attempting to kick Smith and hit him in the face.

Taylor reportedly apologized to Smith, who won't miss any games, according to Hyams. However, Tennessee won't appeal Taylor's previous suspension, which stemmed from an ejection for a personal foul during last Saturday's game against Georgia.

The defensive lineman will miss the first half of next week's game against South Carolina.

The news comes one week after head coach Butch Jones denied defensive lineman Shy Tuttle's orbital bone injury occurred during a fight with a teammate, rather was caused by falling on a helmet.

Again, things don't seem to be getting any better in Knoxville.
