Junior receiver Pig Howard has "always been on our team" but has "earned the right to continue being on our team," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said after Thursday's pre-camp press conference in Neyland Stadium.

Howard, Tennessee's leading pass-catcher in 2013, was given a leave of absence this spring to deal with publicly undisclosed "personal" issues, but the speedy, 5-foot-8 Florida native has worked out with the team all summer and is expected to be on Haslam Field on Friday night for the team's first preseason camp practice.
