DaSaahn Brame leaves Kentucky game with injury

Tennessee tight end DaSaahn Brame left Saturday’s game against Kentucky during the third quarter after being injured on an incomplete pass.

The Vols targeted Brame on second-and-7 from the Kentucky 20-yard line. He remained down after the play and received an evaluation on the field. Multiple trainers helped him walk off.

Brame had caught a 3-yard pass earlier on the drive. Tennessee led 10-6 when he departed, then kicked a field goal two plays later to extend its lead to 13-6.

The sophomore entered the game with 14 catches for 81 yards. He also had two carries for 2 yards and two touchdowns.

Tennessee already was without tight end Ethan Davis, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the Vols’ Sept. 12 win at Georgia Tech. With Davis unavailable and Brame leaving the Kentucky game, South Alabama transfer Trent Thomas and freshman Luca Wolf were Tennessee’s top remaining options at the position.

Why it matters

Tennessee already had lost Ethan Davis for the season to an ACL injury. Brame’s departure left Trent Thomas and Luca Wolf as the Vols’ top remaining tight end options.

What to watch next

On3 Tennessee said its report would be updated after Brame left the game.
