KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The sister of Tennessee defensive tackle Greg Jones was killed and his mother and grandmother were hurt in an accident Saturday as they traveled to the Volunteers' game.

Coaches told Jones, a sophomore from Jonesboro, Ark., the news before Tennessee's home game against Mississippi State. Jones started the game but left in the third quarter to meet his family, coach Phillip Fulmer said.

The names of Jones' relatives were not immediately available, and Tennessee officials were not sure where the accident happened.

Fulmer said Jones' sister was seven months' pregnant.

Jones started the first two games this season. He started Saturday in place of senior Mondre Dickerson, who was indefinitely suspended from the team Friday for violating unspecified team rules.

Jones recorded one tackle in the No. 9 Vols' 59-21 win over Mississippi State. [...]
