Tennessee Vols running back DeSean Bishop suffered an injury in UT's 34-31 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday.

In the second half, Bishop went down awkwardly due to a hip-drop tackle (which isn't illegal in college football). The Knoxville native didn't return to the game.

Bishop rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on just 14 carries before the injury.

Vols head coach Josh Heupel was asked about Bishop's status after the game.

Heupel revealed that Bishop's injury isn't expected to be a longterm deal.

“I don’t think it is a longterm deal here at all," said Heupel when asked about Bishop.

That's certainly good news for the Vols. Bishop is a dynamic player and he's one of the main reasons that Tennessee got a win on Saturday.
