Tennessee Football Injury Report: Texas A&M

• Dont'e Thornton - IN. Thornton was a surprise scratch against South Carolina, but the transfer receiver is expected to play, according to Heupel.
• Andrej Karic - OUT. Karic missed the South Carolina game and will likely be a game-time decision ahead of kickoff.
• Christian Charles - OUT. Charles suffered an ankle injury and has missed the past several games.
