Tyler Lundblade - Will be limited in preseason practice Lundblade (back) will be limited in Tennessee's preseason practice as the guard still doesn't have a firm timeline to return, per Mike Wilson of On3.

Impact Lundblade is still expected to be available when Tennessee tips off its season after he underwent back surgery in August. Still, the guard is still taking things day-by day and there's no clear timetable to get him back on the court. The Belmont transfer averaged 15.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists last season.

Tyler Lundblade - Nearing return to practice Lundblade (back) is getting closer to returning from a back injury as Tennessee resumed practice this week, Mike Wilson of On3.com reports.

Impact This is a positive step after Lundblade had been sidelined during Tennessee's summer practices. Associate head coach Amorrow Morgan noted that the 6-foot-5 guard is very close to being fully healthy. He was previously held out for precautionary reasons, so it is encouraging that he should be ready in time for the beginning of the 2026-27 season. When healthy, Lundblade figures to have a major role in the Volunteers' backcourt as he is coming off off a stellar season at Belmont, where he averaged 15.6 points per game and earned Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year honors.

Jalen Washington - Back ineligible after court order Washington is reportedly back to ineligible after an order from the Tennessee Court of Appeals, according to David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier.

Impact The Tennessee center had previously been granted an eligibility waiver for the 2026-27 season., but this is a significant change for Tennessee's frontcourt outlook if it holds, as Washington's status for the 2026-27 season is now in question. He had committed to Tennessee earlier this month after receiving an extra year of eligibility. Right now, though, there's a big change he won't be able to suit up at all in the 2026-27 campaign.

Tyler Lundblade - Dealing with back injury Lundblade remains on the sidelines of Tennessee's summer practices while dealing with a back injury, per Mike Wilson of the On3.com.

Impact Lundblade transferred to Tennessee for the 2026-27 season after spending two years at Belmont, where he was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 2025-26. Head coach Rick Barnes noted that the guard is being held out for precautionary reasons as he manages his back injury, emphasizing that the team wants to prevent any further aggravation. The Belmont transfer has remained actively involved in team activities while focusing on recovery, though there is currently no set timeline for his return to the court.
