Tennessee QB Joey Aguilar Cleared to Play Kentucky Despite Injury

Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Joey Aguilar sustained some neck injuries during the recent game against Alabama but is expected to be ready for the upcoming matchup against the Kentucky Wildcats, according to head coach Josh Heupel. Aguilar, who has been a key player for Tennessee this season, was visibly in discomfort after taking hard hits but completed the game and has no serious injury concerns. The Volunteers, currently with a 5-2 record, hope to improve their performance and maintain consistency as they aim to stay in contention within the SEC and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Despite the loss to Alabama, Tennessee remains one of the nation's most explosive offenses, and Aguilar's health is crucial for their upcoming games. Coach Heupel emphasized the need to correct self-inflicted errors and maintain discipline, especially against strong opponents like Kentucky. The game against Kentucky presents a vital opportunity for Tennessee to bounce back and continue their pursuit of a successful season.
