Lead target in loss McCoy (lower body) gathered in 4 of 6 targets for 40 yards during Saturday's 42-17 loss versus Ohio State.

Impact McCoy led the Vols in yards and receptions as Tennessee was soundly by Ohio State in the first round of the CFB Playoffs. The 6-foot-3 redshirt senior will close the door on a productive season with Tennessee, posting 39 receptions for 472 yards and two touchdowns this fall. It remains unclear McCoy has any remaining eligibility, or if his collegiate career has come to an end.

Spotted in non-contact jersey Tuesday McCoy (lower body) was seen wearing a non-contact jersey ahead of Saturday's game against Ohio State, Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

The 6-foot-3 senior has appeared in 11 games this season, logging 35 receptions for 432 yards and two touchdowns. McCoy's status for the opening round of the CFB Playoffs remains in jeopardy with Tennessee very shorthanded at wideout already.

Running full speed McCoy (ankle) is running full speed now, Ryan Schumpert of The Rocky Top Insider reports.

Impact McCoy's 2023 season ended just before October because of a fracture-dislocation to his right ankle during Tennessee's annual game against South Carolina. Fast-forward 10 months later, and him being able to run at full speed indicates he is healthy again. Despite a limited year overall, McCoy's 2023 was still acceptable, with 17 receptions for 217 yards being an adequate output across his five games then. However, he has done better and will look at getting back to that higher level. It was evident during 2022, when McCoy logged 52 receptions for 667 yards and four touchdowns.
