Brame, who has become a crucial part of Tennessee’s offensive strategy since Ethan Davis was sidelined for the season, suffered concussion-like symptoms after a hard fall in the endzone last Saturday. Brame did not make the initial injury report on Wednesday, indicating he is cleared to play against Texas A&M on Saturday. According to Volquest, Brame will be traveling with the team.

While Brame's impact may not have been what was anticipated this season, the 6-5, 240-pound tight end has been instrumental in the Tennessee rushing attack. Primarily serving as a lead blocker, Brame has thrived in the Vols’ jumbo formations and has even scored twice on the ground. He has accumulated 15 catches for 184 yards on the season, though this number may increase if not for penalties and a questionable call by officials during Saturday’s game against Kentucky.

If Brame were to face any setbacks, Tennessee would rely on Trent Thomas and Luca Wolf as backups. For now, it appears Brame will be available for Saturday’s game. Kickoff between Tennessee and Texas A&M is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on ESPN.
