Football Notes, observations from Day 10 of Tennessee football fall camp

Tennessee was back at practice today for its 10th session during fall camp.

- We weren't able to see as much today with media only allowed periods 0-1 instead of 0-2. In total was a little over 10 minutes of viewing with about half of it just streches.

- Vols were in full pads today after shells yesterday.

- A limited number of red no-contact jerseys were being worn compared to the last time they went full pads in practice. Cameron Seldon, Jackson Mathews and Patrick Wilk were the only ones sporting them. However, there were some guys off to the side not participating including William Wright and Ben Bolton.

- Trey Weary sported a knee brace on his right knee. He didn't appear to be limited, though.

- Jalen McMurray also continued to sport a knee brace on his right knee. He also did not appear to be limited in anyway.

Football Notes, observations from Day 7 of Tennessee fall practice

Tennessee shed the full pads and went back to shells on Thursday.

Here's my notebook:

- A lot of red jerseys were shed but they also weren't in full pads. I'm reading into it as no need for a red jersey without full pads for those guys and not that they're necessarily back to 100%.

- Among the red jerseys shed were Jalen McMurray and Arion Carter on defense. However, McMurray still sported a brace on his knee.

- On offense, Dayton Sneed, Tommy Winton III and Nathan Roberts were no longer in red.

- Cameron Seldon, Jack-Henry Jakobik in red.

- Kaleb Webb started in a white jersey but switched to red after warmups. Still went through everything fine.

- John Campbell Jr. and Andrej Karic were full go. Participated in warmups and the drills that we saw.
