Offensive Lineman Kingston Harris, who was sidelined with injury shortly after earning a starting spot last fall is up from 326lbs to 340lbs. He put together several good reps yesterday. 

Tackle Darnell Wright is up ten pounds to 345 lbs, but he does not appear to be out of shape. He carried his weight well yesterday. He will be a key factor in the Vols' success this fall.
