KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said Monday that senior tight end Ethan Davis will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury for the 15th-ranked Volunteers.

“I hate it for Ethan,” Heupel said. “The work that he put into it, the growth of the person and the player, that the season’s cut short. But next guy’s got to to be be prepared and take advantage of their opportunity.”

Davis opened the scoring for a second straight game for Tennessee (2-0), catching a 25-yard touchdown pass from Faizon Brandon on the Volunteers’ first possession in a 45-24 win at Georgia Tech.

The 6-foot-5, 247-pound tight end has played 26 games with 39 career receptions for 433 yards and six touchdowns. He joins a growing list of Volunteers with season-ending injuries, including wide receiver Joakim Dodson and starting safety Edrees Farooq.

Tennessee hosts Kennesaw State on Saturday night.
