Tennessee senior quarterback Justin Worley's status remained uncertain Thursday as the Vols continued preparing for their home game Saturday against fourth-ranked Alabama.

Coach Butch Jones said Thursday afternoon during his weekly appearance on Nashville's WGFX-FM, 104.5 The Zone, that he would know more later Thursday and into Friday about whether Worley will be able to play against the Crimson Tide. Worley fell hard on his throwing shoulder during the fourth quarter of Tennessee's 34-3 loss Saturday at No. 3 Ole Miss.

Jones told 104.5 The Zone's "3HL" that sophomores Nathan Peterman and Joshua Dobbs both could play against Alabama if Worley is forced to sit out.

Asked if Worley will start v. Bama, Butch Jones tells us they'll know more later today and into tomorrow. — 3HL (@3HL1045) October 23, 2014
