Former Tennessee forward Uros Plavsic and the Serbian national team won bronze at the Olympics with a 93-83 victory over Germany Saturday morning in Paris.

Plavsic is the third former Vol to win an Olympic medal, joining Ernie Grunfeld and Allan Houston, who won gold for Team USA in 1976 and 2000, respectively.

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.

After a day off following Tennessee's scrimmage, the Vols were back at practice.

Here's my notebook!

- Tennessee was back in shells today, shoulder pads, helmets, but no leg pads

- Guys who have previously been banged up or in red jerseys who were fine today:
- Arion Carter, Dayton Sneed, Kaleb Webb, Tommy Winton III, Nathan Roberts, Andrej Karic, Mike Matthews, Dont'e Thornton

- In red no-contact jerseys:
- Cameron Seldon, Jack-Henry Jakobik, Jordan Burns, Christian Harrison (left elbow brace), Hunter Barnes

- In normal jerseys but limited in some way:
- Jalen McMurray (participated but had a big right knee brace)
- Trey Weary (participated but had a left knee brace)
- Braylon Staley (nothing noticeable but didn't see him run routes)
- Group stretched to the side when the team went outside (John Campbell Jr., Herb Gray, Joshua Helsdon, Jeremias Heard, Gage Ginther)
- Dylan Sampson was putting on a left knee brace again and was limited

Jake Merklinger started to notice it last spring.

Tennessee’s freshman quarterback was beginning to grasp the offense, the result of his decision to early enroll that has paid off in fall camp, too.

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.
