The Volunteers scored a touchdown in overtime to take the lead. The beginning of the story
According to sources, the Tennessee All-SEC receiver underwent "tightrope" surgery on his left ankle with the hopes of not being out for an extended period.
In the team's 63-6 win over Akron in Week 3, Tillman was injured and missed the Florida game. In his first three games, he had 17 catches.
This week, the Vols are off. They play LSU and Alabama in October.
When Heupel spoke to the media, he was not asked if he had surgery.
Heupel said that the fifth-year senior was a long way away from game time. He will be available when we go down there.
Tua Tagovailoa had the same procedure twice. Instead of using metal screws, it uses a high strength suture. The Knotless Syndesmosis TightRope Implant System is a procedure that can be used to speed up the recovery from high ankle sprains.
The procedure on Tagavailoa's left ankle was done after he was hurt in the SEC Championship Game. He came back 28 days later to play in the College Football Playoff semifinal game against Oklahoma, where he passed for 318 yards and four touchdown in Alabama's 45-34 win.
He injured his ankle in a game against Tennessee and had to have a procedure to repair it, but he came back three weeks later to play in a game against LSU, in which he passed for 423 yards and four scores.
He became Tennessee's first 1,000-yard receiver in four years. He decided to stay for a fifth season.
In the win over Florida, Hooker passed for 349 yards and two touchdown.
