KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee's Quintin Hancock is the latest Volunteer wide receiver to suffer an injury that will keep him out of competition.

Coach Lane Kiffin says the senior, who has started all three games this season, suffered what may be a fractured jaw when he fumbled in the fourth quarter against Florida. Tennessee recovered the fumble.

Kiffin says he expects Hancock to be out a few weeks and team doctors will re-examine him to determine exactly what is wrong.

Wide receivers Austin Rogers, Gerald Jones and Denarius Moore have all suffered injuries that kept them out of games. Rogers is out for the season while recovering from a torn knee ligament, but Jones and Moore returned to practice last week.
