Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer addressed the media Saturday morning.

Among topics he discussed:

Injuries: Tight end Jeff Cottam, offensive lineman William Brimfield and linebacker Josh Hawkins will be limited early.

Defensive tackle Donald Langley will miss practice Saturday to be with his mother, who is seriously ill.

Linebacker Gerald Williams needs one class to become eligible, and Fulmer said he hopes Williams will take care of business.

Still no word on Brandon Warren, although Fulmer said a decision from the SEC is "long overdue."

Quarterback Jonathan Crompton will wear the No. 22 on his wristband to honor a close high school friend who was killed by a drunk driver in January.

More later online and in Sunday's News Sentinel.
