Dont'e Thornton Dressed Out, Good to Go For Texas A&M

Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Dont'e Thornton is good to go against Texas A&M.

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel updated the injury list earlier this week and said that he was expecting wide receiver Dont'e Thornton to be available against Texas A&M. Thornton was a surprise scratch against South Carolina but has worked his way back to the field and is going through pregame warmups at full-speed. He will return to the lineup this afternoon.
