Vols Lose DT Malik Jackson To A Sprained Knee Derek Dooley hasn't hesitated to offer reminders that Tennessee reported for camp this week with only one returning starter in the defensive front seven. Now the Vols coach is completely out of them for a while after he announced Friday that tackle Malik Jackson would be on the shelf for about two weeks with a sprained right knee. "We are now zero out of seven, that's right," Dooley said. "But we weren't very good in the front seven last year, so some people would say that's the best news we've had all season. "Think about it. You heard that saying, 'The good news is we've got everybody back. The bad news is we've got everybody back.' The bad news is we've got zero out of seven, the good news is we've got zero out of seven."Dooley was clearly joking as he updated the math on his depth chart after Jackson took his pads off and replaced them with a sleeve on his right knee, and the fact the senior should be back in plenty of time for the season opener against Montana likely allowed him to smile.
