Tennessee will be without one of its best defensive backs on the roster on Saturday as Sophomore athlete Boo Carter has been ruled out for the New Mexico State game due to a hip flexor injury, according to Football Scoop's John Brice.
Sounds like @Vol_Football today will be without Boo Carter, who’s expected to be absent with a hip flexor. The No. 23 @CFBPlayoff Vols are 40-point favorites vs. New Mexico State.

As John Brice notes, the Vols are 40-point favorites, so they shouldn't have many issues without Carter on the field, but it is a tough loss for a position group that is already playing deep into its depth chart.
