It's absolutely wild to think about, but the countdown to Week 1 for Tennessee football has reached under two weeks. Where in the world did the offseason go? The prep for the showdown with Syracuse has reached a new level and Josh Heupel is fully focused on the offense balling out.
The good news is that quarterback Joey Aguilar has been named the starter. Aguilar will also be all smiles knowing that one of his top wideouts is back at practice. That'd be Braylon Staley, who had been battling an injury. That's no longer the case, as he was suited up with his teammates on Tuesday:

Staley had been missing due to an unspecified injury, but it's no question huge that he's back on the field and ready to catch balls from Aguilar.
