Tennessee Football RB Daune Morris Involved in Car Wreck, Will Miss Texas A&M Game
The sophomore from Chattanooga has 434 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and Tennessee may need Javin Gordon behind DeSean Bishop.
- On Friday, Tennessee running back Daune Morris will miss Saturday's game at Texas A&M after suffering a broken leg in an early morning car accident. The sophomore will not travel with the team.
- According to a Knoxville Police Department report, Morris was cited for reckless driving after his 2021 Dodge Charger struck a fire hydrant and four parked cars, flipping onto its roof. The vehicle lost traction while accelerating during a turn.
- Tennessee's second-leading rusher, Morris recorded 434 yards and three touchdowns on 66 carries this season as primary backup to Heisman Trophy candidate DeSean Bishop. He contributed to the SEC-leading rushing offense averaging 216.0 yards per game.
- Reports indicate the broken leg will likely cost Morris the remainder of the season. Fellow sophomore Javin Gordon, a Tulane transfer, is expected to replace him in the backfield rotation alongside option Justin Baker.
- Eight Tennessee players have already sustained season-ending injuries, complicating the team's push toward a College Football Playoff bid. Starting guard Wendell Moe and tight end Ethan Davis are among those sidelined, straining roster depth.
