The Tennessee secondary has pretty clearly been the weakest part of the roster through four games. As the coaching staff searches for answers, we’ve got some good news and some bad news.
First things first, Warren Burrell is out for the season after suffering an injury against Pittsburgh. The veteran defensive back notably struggled against Purdue in the bowl game, and wasn’t off to a great start in 2022. However, his absence leaves Tennessee with little to no experience at cornerback going forward. Christian Charles, who played safety last season, started in his place against Akron and Florida alongside of Kamal Hadden.
