Morris, the Vols second-leading rusher, suffered a leg injury in an overnight car accident and will miss Tennessee's remaining games, including Saturday's matchup at Texas A&M.
Tennessee's backfield just took another hit. Running back Daune Morris is done for the season after sustaining a leg injury in an overnight car accident, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
Morris was the Vols' second-leading rusher this season, trailing only DeSean Bishop, with 434 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. His absence leaves the No. 8 Tennessee team thinner at a position already under strain as the regular season winds down.
The injury means Morris will miss Saturday's game at Texas A&M, a source told ESPN, and the loss extends beyond that single matchup since Morris is expected to sit out the rest of the year.
This comes on the heels of another significant injury for Tennessee, with sack leader Tyree Weathersby also sidelined after hurting his knee during the win over Kentucky. The Vols now head into their final three regular-season games without two contributors who had been central to their success this year, forcing the coaching staff to lean on depth at both offense and defense down the stretch.
