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.\n\nMorris 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThis 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.","published_at":"2026-11-14T02:04:40.243125+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee RB Daune Morris car accident knocks him out for rest of season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-rb-daune-morris-car-161000195.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Tennessee RB Daune Morris expected to miss rest of season after suffering injury in car crash","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/tennessee-rb-daune-morris-season-injury-car-crash/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Source: Vols RB Morris out vs. Texas A&M after being injured in car accident","url":"https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50471707/source-tennessee-rb-daune-morris-vs-texas-am"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee football RB Daune Morris involved in car wreck, will miss Texas A&M game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-football-rb-daune-morris-141138203.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee football RB Daune Morris involved in car wreck, will miss Texas A&M game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-football-rb-daune-morris-141138995.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Daune Morris will miss Texas A&M game following car accident","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/daune-morris-miss-texas-m-144243463.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee RB Daune Morris reportedly out for season after breaking leg in car wreck, cited for reckless driving","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/tennessee-rb-daune-morris-reportedly-out-for-season-after-breaking-leg-in-car-wreck-cited-for-reckless-driving-171219915.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee RB injured and cited for reckless driving, will miss Texas A&M game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-rb-injured-cited-reckless-173831358.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee RB Daune Morris breaks his leg in a car crash ahead of Texas A&M game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-rb-daune-morris-breaks-212714737.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee football RB Daune Morris, out with broken leg, on injury report vs Texas A&M","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-football-rb-daune-morris-011609124.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tennessee football RB Daune Morris, out with broken leg, on injury report vs Texas A&M","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tennessee-football-rb-daune-morris-011609538.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
