That's because it has just been revealed that second-year linebacker Jaedon Harmon has suffered a torn ACL, and he's officially out for the 2026 season. Harmon suffered the injury during practice this week, with further testing confirming that he will be out for the year. Last season as a true frosh, Harmon posted 19 total tackles (12 solo), one pass deflection, and 0.5 sacks. As reported by Brown, Richard suffered his serious injury while working out back at home, with surgery needed. This LB injury also adds to some early-season concerns for the Vols, as playmaker Arion Carter is suspended for the first two games of the year.
