There were some delays with Volunteer players arriving in Tampa during the holiday weekend, however, all but one arrived in time for the start of the practice schedule.

Senior WR Bret Smith was the only Tennessee player not present by the start of Tuesday’s afternoon practice, though he was expected to arrive sometime late Tuesday.
