KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee offensive tackle Trey Smith is out indefinitely after doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs, a recurrence of an issue that also caused him to miss spring practice.
Smith originally was diagnosed in February with blood clots in his lungs. He received a six-month course of anticoagulants, a form of blood thinners, and was cleared to play this season .
Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt says doctors discovered clots on his lungs again Wednesday. Pruitt said Thursday that Smith is expected to make a full recovery.
Smith had started each of Tennessee’s first seven games at left tackle this season. As a true freshman last year, Smith earned second-team all-Southeastern Conference honors.
Tennessee (3-4, 1-3 SEC) visits South Carolina (3-3, 2-3) on Saturday.
