” No, hes not (in the rotation),” Pruitt stated after Wednesdays practice. “J.J. is taking a couple of weeks far from the group. Hes not been with us for a couple of weeks.”.
Pruitt decreased to expose any specifics in terms of a reason for Petersons lack and was unsure of the gamers future at Tennessee.
” I do not believe I desire to talk about that,” Pruitt stated. “Its something that J.J. wished to do, and me and him talked and had a truly excellent talk about it. Thatll be between me and him.”.
The Tennessee Volunteers have lacked their premier gamer from the 2018 recruiting class for a number of weeks now, and it seems that absence will continue.
On Wednesday, coach Jeremy Pruitt revealed that former 4-star pound JJ Peterson was not in the rotation defensively and hadnt been with the group for a number of weeks.
Pruitt then continued by saying Petersons absence would continue, however that he didnt wish to discuss it (through 247Sports):.
In 2 years, Peterson has had 12 total tackles in limited action for the Vols. Will we see him back on the field this season? That stays to be seen.
