Updating a story from earlier Friday, head coach Derek Dooley has kind of, sort of given an update on the health of defensive end Ben Martin.
While it’s far from a definitive diagnosis, it doesn’t portend well for the senior’s short-term availability.
We now know that Martin indeed suffered a serious injury to his Achilles tendon and, while a return by the lineman at some point this summer camp/season has not been ruled out, Dooley allowed that “it’s not good news” as far as the injury is concerned.
Martin, projected to be a starter for the Volunteers this fall, suffered the injury during the second practice of summer camp Thursday.
