Ty Redmond misses third consecutive practice for Tennessee Volunteers
Summary

Tennessee Volunteers cornerback Ty Redmond was absent from practice for the third straight day on August 8, 2026. Redmond's absence is concerning for the Volunteers, who have already lost key defensive backs to injury and transfers. With Redmond sidelined, the Volunteers are expected to rely on senior Kayin Lee and sophomore Tre Poteat III. The lack of depth at cornerback may affect the team as they prepare for the season opener against Furman on September 5, 2026. If Redmond's absence is due to illness, he may still be available for the game.
