It wasn't enough that Alabama absolutely beat down an injury-ravaged Tennessee team 49-10 on Saturday, but the Vols lost yet another member of the team to injury. Offensive lineman Jack Jones will require surgery to fix torn ligaments in his thumb that he suffered during the Alabama game.

Jones played the entire second half with the ailment and now the Vols will likely lose the steadiest part of the offensive line as Jones had been starting since last year's Alabama game when he got his first start. Surgery took place on Monday and it is possible he could be back for the South Carolina game with some heavy bandaging and wraps on his hand.
