John Campbell Injury Update: Tennessee Football OT Has Injury, Leaves Game vs Oklahoma

Tennessee Football OT John Campbell Suffers Apparent Knee Injury

John Campbell, starting offensive tackle for the Tennessee Volunteers, left Saturday's game against the Oklahoma Sooners with an apparent knee injury. Campbell was injured in the first quarter while blocking on a running play. He was helped off the field by trainers and did not return to the game.

Severity of Campbell's Injury Unclear

The severity of Campbell's injury is not yet known. He will undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the extent of the damage. However, Campbell was seen on crutches after the game, which is not a good sign.

Campbell's Absence Could Be a Major Blow to Tennessee

Campbell is a key member of Tennessee's offensive line. He is a 6'8", 315-pound redshirt senior who has started 26 games in his career. If Campbell is forced to miss any significant time, it would be a major blow to the Volunteers' offense.

Darnell Wright Expected to Start in Campbell's Place

If Campbell is unable to play, redshirt sophomore Darnell Wright is expected to start in his place. Wright has played in 13 games in his career, including two starts. He is a 6'6", 305-pounder who has the potential to be a very good player.

Tennessee Faces Tough Schedule Ahead

Tennessee faces a tough schedule ahead, with games against Florida, Alabama, and Georgia still to come. The Volunteers will need to be at their best to compete in those games, and they will need Campbell in the lineup to do so.
