Tennessee football getting back stud defensive starter for Mississippi game

It's about time some positive injury news came in for Tennessee football, especially with a tough road showdown against Mississippi State up this weekend. In the season-opener, standout defensive lineman Jaxson Moi went down with an elbow injury and he's been out ever since.
