According to multiple reports, Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter will miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury. Per Volquest and 247Sports, Carter will undergo shoulder surgery this week to fix the issue.

Carter had been playing in Tennessee’s linebacker rotation before the injury, getting 10-20 snaps per game. The former four-star prospect is out of Smyrna, Tennessee, and was a massive pull over Alabama in last year’s recruiting cycle.

The 6-1, 227 pound linebacker suffered the injury against Kentucky a few weeks ago. He was not in Missouri for Saturday afternoon’s game.
