KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee received positive news regarding two key players that suffered injuries in Saturday's win against Arkansas State.

Neither receiver Von Pearson nor freshman tight end Ethan Wolf will be out for the season, as Volunteers coach Butch Jones said the program got "great news" regarding their statuses.

Wolf, who caught five passes on Saturday, is questionable for Saturday's trip to fourth-ranked Oklahoma with a knee bruise, while Pearson has already been ruled out of the game with a high ankle sprain, Jones said.

Pearson had a 56-yard catch in the first quarter of Saturday's win and had four catches for 71 yards when he was hurt in the second quarter.

After Wolf went out in the second half, freshman Daniel Helm and senior Brendan Downs finished the game at tight end.
