KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee is unsure about the status of its two top linebackers as it prepares to visit Texas A&M in a matchup of undefeated teams.Darrin Kirkland Jr. has missed three straight games with a high ankle sprain. Jalen Reeves-Maybin missed the entirety of a 34-31 triumph at Georgia last week after sitting out the majority of victories over Ohio and Florida.That means No. 9 Tennessee (5-0, 2-0 SEC) again could be missing some of its best defensive performers when the Volunteers face No. 8 Texas A&M (5-0, 3-0). The Vols already are without cornerback Cam Sutton, who will miss a third straight game with a fractured right ankle.Reeves-Maybin, the Vols leading tackler last season, underwent an MRI last week. Reeves-Maybin and Sutton are two of Tennessees four team captains.Were continuing to gather information on Jalen Reeves-Maybin and trying to make the best decision to present to him with his different options, coach Butch Jones said. Ill know a little bit more later in the week.Kirkland had a team-leading 16 tackles through the first two weeks of the season before getting hurt. Jones said Kirkland ran Thursday and Friday, and the team planned to put him through cutting drills Monday to see if he can match the movements that the linebacker position brings about, different bursts and accelerations.Jones said cornerback Justin Martin should be available this weekend after serving a suspension last week for a violation of team rules. He also said running back Jalen Hurd will be full go this week and available to play against Texas A&M after missing portions of the Georgia game for what was described as a lower extremity injury.The Aggies also have been dealing with injuries. Texas A&M beat South Carolina 24-13 last week without four injured starters, including 2015 SEC sacks leader Myles Garrett. The other Aggies to miss the game were offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and receivers Speedy Noil and Ricky Seals-Jones.Texas A&M didnt have a media availability Monday, so there was no update on the foursomes status for this weeks game.Tennessee thus far has withstood all the injuries on defense thanks largely to the performance of its front four. The deep defensive line has played its best late in games to help the Vols outscore opponents 76-21 in the fourth quarter and overtime.Were going to need our defensive front to be that way each and every week, Jones said.The defensive line has benefited from being the healthiest element of Tennessees defense, with the only notable injury being an ankle problem that sidelined end LaTroy Lewis against Ohio. Tennessee knew even before the season its defensive line would be a strength.Before all the injuries, thats what our goal was before the season started, to be a D-line-led team, defensive tackle Kendal Vickers said. When the pressures on, we want it to be on our shoulders.That defensive line is led by Derek Barnett, who has recorded two sacks in each of Tennessees last two games. Barnett sacked Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason and forced a fumble that defensive end Corey Vereen recovered in the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter last week.But the injuries across the defense have made a difference, particularly in the secondary. Tennessee has allowed four pass completions of at least 40 yards the last two weeks. The Vols yielded just one pass completion of 40-plus yards in the three games that Sutton played.Tennessees secondary could face an even tougher challenge Saturday against a talented Texas A&M receiving corps, particularly if Seals-Jones and Noil are healthy enough to play.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Myydään Vapormax .

Nike Vapormax Suomi .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. In the aftermath of the British Grand Prix the FIA stewards issued Nico Rosberg with a ten-second time penalty for violating the new rules regarding radio communications between the driver and the pit wall.The British GP stewards determined that the team gave some instructions to the driver that were specifically permitted under Technical Directive 014-16. However, the Stewards determined that the team then went further and gave instructions to the driver that were not permitted under the Technical Directive, and were in Breach of Art. 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, that the driver must drive the car alone and unaided.In laymans terms, what that means is that Mercedes were fine to tell their driver to enter default modes, as that is permitted under the 2016 radio regs. Where they got into trouble was in telling Rosberg to avoid seventh gear, which earned the team their time penalty.The penalty promoted Max Verstappen to second place, and means that the Mercedes drivers are split by a single point going into the next race in Budapest. But that is the smallest of the likely ramifications resulting from Rosbergs radio penalty, which some paddock insiders feel could be the beginning of the end for the radio ruling.Shortly after the stewards decision was announced, Mercedes confirmed that they would appeal the penalty and, at the time of writing, it is expected that the team will do so. Championship points are championship points, after all, and points mean (financial) prizes.But what any appeal, successful or otherwise, will achieve is a group rethink -- in discussion form -- of the rights and wrongs of the radio rules as they stand.There is some suspicion in the paddock that Mercedes went tactical, deciding that it was worth taking whatever penalty would be given in order to avoid what could well have been a DNF for the No.6 car. Lose anything between three and ten points based on a time penalty, or lose anything up to 18? There is a strategic advantage to be found in the right kind of penalty...None of Mercedes on-track rivals are going to want to give the Silver AArrows any quarter, given that the team is already romping away with the constructors title and the cold, hard cash that championship points lead to.ddddddddddddpeaking very much off the record, several high-ranking paddock insiders said on Sunday night that they expect the Mercedes penalty will eventually lead to one of two outcomes: either the current restrictions on radio communication will be scrapped, allowing the sort of radio traffic fans were used to hearing until the start of this season, or there will be a near total lockdown on pit-car communications, preventing any messages that dont immediately precede a component dangerously going BANG!.By and large, the teams would prefer to be able to communicate with their drivers, especially when it comes to performing in-race car fixes that help preserve those components -- such as power units and gearboxes -- that come with their own penalties for using too many in the course of a season.There is also a strong argument from a fan and broadcasting perspective for doing more with team radio. In a technologically complex sport, which comes with a rulebook that can best be described as labyrinthine, allowing fans access to intra-team comms gives those watching each grand prix a better chance of understanding the individual dynamics (and dramas) playing out on track.The radio ban was introduced with the best of intentions, improving the show by restoring the power -- and the gladiatorial status -- to the drivers, but it has also had an impact on the quality of the show, as was the case with Lewis Hamilton in Baku. Watching fans were denied what could have been a close on-track battle when the Briton worked his way through every setting his steering wheel offered in an attempt to reset his power unit settings during the Azeri street race.While Rosberg will be rueing the lost points in the title fight, his ten-second sacrifice could lead to the end of the current -- confusing -- radio rules.
