Tennessee QB questionable ahead of Vols taking on Alabama

Faizon Brandon is listed as questionable in the initial availability report ahead of Tennessee taking on the Crimson Tide in Knoxville.

Brandon started at quarterback for the Vols to start the season. However, he did not get the start against Arkansas last week due to him dealing with a shoulder injury.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported the quarterback was getting ‘increased reps’ this week.

“As for Tennessee at quarterback, there’s some ambiguity here going forward this week,” Thamel said. “George MacIntyre’s first career start was at Arkansas last week. Obviously had his ups and downs. I’ve been told by sources that Faizon Brandon has experienced an uptick in practice reps this week. No decision is imminent on who will start in this game, but based on Brandon’s availability coming off that shoulder injury against Texas, it appears to give him a better shot at getting some snaps in this game. We may end up seeing both quarterbacks for now, but there’s no clarity yet on who’ll be the starter against the Tide.”

It is unclear who will start for Tennessee against Alabama.
