Josh Heupel provides update on Joe Milton’s injury

Redshirt junior quarterback Joe Milton III started for Tennessee in Week 2 against Pittsburgh.

Milton III left the game against Pittsburgh during the first half due to a lower body injury.

He completed 7-of-12 passes for 50 yards and totaled 54 rushing yards on five attempts.

First-year Vols’ head coach Josh Heupel met with media on Monday and discussed the status of Milton III ahead of its Week 3 contest against Tennessee Tech (noon EDT, SEC Network+).

“I don’t know where he’s at health-wise at this moment,” Heupel said of Milton III. “Right now as we go forward, the guys that are healthy will be ready to go compete and play. We’ll find out where Joe is here in the middle of the week.”
