Jeremy Pruitt taking a risk with reinstatement of WR Jauan Jennings

Jeremy Pruitt has played it by the book, but he went off script in his most recent move. Pruitt took his biggest gamble to date when he allowed wide receiver Jauan Jennings to return to Tennessee’s roster.

You remember Jennings, right? He’s the player who often was absent from the team during practices and games when he was injured, then showed up at end-of-the-season practice healthy and demanding to play quarterback (which he hadn’t played since high school) before being asked to leave the practice field, which prompted a profanity-laced tirade on social media against UT’s then-coaching staff.
