Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin said there is a good chance center Josh McNeil’s football career is over.
McNeil is exploring the possibility of another surgery on his injured left knee.
Kiffin made the remark at Tuesday’s media day. Other comments from Kiffin:

- He said he plans to play starting quarterback Jonathan Crompton the entire game except when receiver Nu’Keese Richardson is used.
Injury report: Running back Tauren Poole is recovering from a concussion. His immediate status is unknown. Tight end Ben Bartholomew is questionable for the game with a sore ankle.
