KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee expects to have quarterback Justin Worley at full strength for Saturday's game with Florida.
The status of Worley's receiving corps is less clear.
Worley sat out three series of the Volunteers' 35-32 loss at Georgia last week when Bulldogs linebacker Jordan Jenkins' helmet hit him in the elbow during a pass rush, but the senior quarterback returned to direct two fourth-quarter touchdown drives.
"He's fine," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Monday. "He kind of hit his funny bone and all that, but he's fine. He'll be 100 percent for the game."
Jones isn't as sure about wide receivers Von Pearson and Josh Smith, who both have high ankle sprains.
Pearson has missed Tennessee's last two games, while Smith sat out the Georgia game. Pearson has seven catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. Smith has 10 catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.
"I'll know a little bit more as the week progresses, but right now I'd say Von is ahead of Josh in terms of recovery," Jones said.
In other injury news, freshman reserve linebacker Dillon Bates has a torn labrum that will require season-ending surgery. Jones said the Vols will seek a medical redshirt for Bates. Jones indicated freshmen Cortez McDowell and Jakob Johnson could have bigger roles in Bates' absence.
Florida coach Will Muschamp said Monday he'll have to shuffle his starting lineup a bit due to injuries, but there won't be a change at the quarterback position for his team.
Florida's starter at quarterback will continue to be junior Jeff Driskel, who struggled in throwing for just 93 yards in the team's last game, a blowout loss at Alabama.
Muschamp said Driskel took most of the first-team reps during Florida's bye week and would do so again this week. He isn't thinking about playing two quarterbacks against Tennessee.
"Not at this time," he said.
