Tennessee running back Daune Morris will miss Saturday's game at Texas A&M as a result of an injury he sustained during a car accident this week, a source told ESPN.

Morris, a sophomore from Chattanooga, has rushed for 434 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Morris is the team's second-leading rusher and has also caught six passes for 35 yards.

The Vols feature one of the most effective running games in college football -- No. 1 in the SEC and No. 11 nationally in yards per game -- with feature back DeSean Bishop already at 1,066 rushing yards with three regular-season games left to play.

With Morris sidelined, Javin Gordon could see increased opportunities. The Tulane transfer has 28 carries for 129 yards this season.

Tennessee is 7-2 and No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings with games left against Texas A&M, LSU and Vanderbilt.
