Tennessee football left tackle David Sanders suffers injury vs Alabama
Tennessee left tackle David Sanders left the game with an apparent leg injury against No. 7 Alabama on Oct. 17.
Tennessee football left tackle David Sanders sustained an injury during a game against No. 7 Alabama on October 17. The incident occurred on a first-and-10 play from the University of Tennessee's 14-yard line. Quarterback George MacIntyre threw an interception, which was caught by Radarious Jackson. After the play, Sanders was seen on the field, grabbed his right knee, and initially walked off the field independently.
However, University of Tennessee staff members were required to assist him to the sideline. Sanders was immediately taken to the medical tent. Ory Williams, an LSU transfer, replaced Sanders on the subsequent drive. Sanders, a former five-star recruit, earned Freshman All-America honors in 2025 as a right tackle and shifted to left tackle this season. Adam Sparks is the Tennessee football beat reporter.
