Daevin Hobbs Returning To Action vs. Alabama

Tennessee Volunteers defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs will return to action against the Alabama Crimson Tide this weekend.

The Vols have gotten strong production from true freshman Daevin Hobbs this season when he's on the field. The former five-star and Adidas All-American has appeared in three games and played well, but injuries have hamstrung him to this point. However, they will be getting him back this weekend against Alabama, according to head coach Josh Heupel in an injury update.

Tennessee Football's Injury Report

• Omarr Norman-Lott - IN. Norman-Lott appeared in the season's first five games and was an impact contributor on the defensive front. However, he missed the Texas A&M game, though the Vols managed without him. Heupel confirmed he will be active this week.
• Daevin Hobbs - IN. The former five-star defensive lineman has looked good in his three appearances, but he has missed time with nagging injuries against Florida and Texas A&M. Heupel confirmed he will be ready to play this weekend.
