Tennessee All-SEC receiver Da'Rick Rogers has been indefinitely suspended from the team, the university announced, and coach Derek Dooley said after practice Thursday that he does not expect Rogers to be with the team at all this season.
Rogers violated the school's substance abuse policy, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad.
The school had said Rogers' status for the remainder of the season is still to be determined earlier Thursday.
The junior from Calhoun, Ga., doesn't appear on the depth chart Tennessee released Thursday for its Aug. 31 season opener with North Carolina State at the Georgia Dome. Cordarrelle Patterson, a transfer from Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College, likely would start in Rogers' place.
Rogers led the SEC with 67 catches last season and was second in the league with 1,040 receiving yards. He also caught nine touchdown passes.
Dooley said as recently as a week ago that Rogers had enjoyed an exceptional preseason camp and that his attitude had also been good. Rogers found himself in Dooley's doghouse a couple of different times this past offseason because of attitude problems.
Losing Rogers would hurt the Vols' depth at receiver, although talented junior Justin Hunter is returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for most of last season. Patterson has also been impressive in camp.
Hunter caught 17 passes for 314 yards and two touchdowns last year before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Sept. 17.
