Tennessee football running back Daune Morris was involved in a car wreck late on Nov. 12, a source told Knox News, and will miss the Texas A&M game.

The source requested anonymity because UT has not announced Morris’ status.

No. 9 Tennessee (7-2, 5-2 SEC) plays at Texas A&M (4-5, 1-5) on Nov. 14 (3 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The Vols had already lost starting left guard Nic Moore and starting defensive end Tyree Weathersby for this pivotal road game against the Aggies. Moore was ruled out on the SEC availability report on Nov. 12. Weathersby, UT’s sack leader, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 34-6 win over Kentucky on Nov. 7.

How Tennessee football replaces Daune Morris vs. Texas A&M

Morris, a 5-foot-10, 200-pounder, is a sophomore and former Oakland High standout in Murfreesboro. He has rushed 66 times for 434 yards and three touchdowns for the Vols this season as the primary backup to Heisman Trophy candidate DeSean Bishop. He also has six catches for 35 yards.

Morris provides a big-play threat from the backfield. Against Kentucky, he broke a career-long 66-yard TD run to spark the Vols.

Tulane transfer Javin Gordon is next in line in the backfield rotation. He has 28 carries for 129 yards, missing four games around midseason due to injury. Bishop is the bell-cow back, rushing for 1,066 yards, which ranks 10th in the nation, and 13 TDs.

Bishop, Morris and Gordon have fueled Tennessee’s rushing offense, which leads the SEC at 216 yards per game.
