KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Freshman wide receiver Nu'Keese
Richardson did not attend Tennessee's brief Sunday night practice.
      Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin gave no reason for the absence.
      Several Vols (4-4, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) stayed on the
sideline during practice for health reasons, but Kiffin didn't rule
any of them out for Saturday's game against Memphis.
      Starting linebacker Savion Frazier injured his knee late in
Tennessee's 31-13 win over South Carolina on Saturday night, but
Kiffin said Sunday's diagnosis was better than initially feared.
      Defensive linemen Gerald Williams and Marlon Walls were held
from practice with ankle injuries, and defensive end Chris Walker
missed another day because of a sore lower back. linebacker
LaMarcus Thompson sat out after leaving the South Carolina game
with a stinger.
