Tennessee running back Daune Morris sustained non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg, during a car accident Friday morning, the school announced.
Morris will miss at least Saturday's game at Texas A&M.
"Tennessee running back Daune Morris was involved in a one-vehicle accident off campus early Friday morning," the school said in a statement. "He sustained non-life threatening injuries, including a broken leg, and is resting comfortably. We wish Daune the best in his recovery."
The Knoxville News, citing police records, reported that Morris was cited for reckless driving after he wrecked his 2021 Dodge Charger. At 12:38 a.m. ET Friday, Morris lost control of his car and struck a fire hydrant and four parked cars, according to the report. Morris' car came to rest on its roof.
The Knoxville News report said that Morris had been cited for speeding and failure to exercise due care as a driver on Oct. 4. He pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charges.
Morris, a sophomore from Chattanooga, has rushed for 434 yards and three touchdowns this season.
Morris is the team's second-leading rusher and has also caught six passes for 35 yards.
The Vols feature one of the most effective running games in college football -- No. 1 in the SEC and No. 11 nationally in yards per game -- with feature back DeSean Bishop already at 1,066 rushing yards with three regular-season games left to play.
With Morris sidelined, Javin Gordon could see increased opportunities. The Tulane transfer has 28 carries for 129 yards this season.
Tennessee is 7-2 and No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings with games left against Texas A&M, LSU and Vanderbilt.
