Tennessee has one key injury to monitor heading into the Music City Bowl against Purdue on Thursday. Senior right tackle Cade Mays missed the final two games of the regular season with a foot injury, and his status this week is unknown.
Mays was at practice with the team on Sunday, spotted on a stationary bike during the open portion of the session.
“Yeah, I mean, he’s absolutely pushing to play,” Heupel told reporters on Sunday. “Actually was able to move around. We held him out of the padded part of it today, but we’ll see where he’s at as we get later in the week.
