Tennessee All-American guard Chris Lofton was out of his protective walking boot and into running shoes Tuesday.

Lofton did not take part in the Vols regular practice session after injuring his ankle in the Vols' second-round win over Butler.

UT coach Bruce Pearl said Lofton had a soreness in his ankle and heel, and that he anticipates Lofton will practice Wednesday in preparation for the Vols' Thursday night game with Louisville in the East Region Sweet 16 at Charlotte, N.C. Pearl said the injury would not have prevented Lofton from playing even if the game had been today.
