A Tennessee football player's season in jeopardy after he lost control of his car and broke his leg in a single-vehicle crash.

Running back Daune Morris, fresh off a big game against then-No. 6 Kentucky that saved the Volunteers' season, now faces doubt on whether or not he will be able to play the rest of the year over something that may have been avoidable.

According to reports, citing records from the Knoxville Police Department, Morris' car hit a fire hydrant and rolled onto its side, while also hitting four other cars.

Morris apparently told police he lost control of his car while making a right turn trying to accelerate early Friday morning. The car, a 2021 Dodge Charger, eventually came to rest on its roof.

He was taken to the UT Medical Center with minor injuries.

The school said Morris suffered a broken leg.

"Tennessee running back Daune Morris was involved in a one-vehicle accident off campus early Friday morning," the school said in a statement. "He sustained non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg, and is resting comfortably. We wish Daune the best in his recovery."

The Knoxville News said Morris was also cited last month for speeding and failure to exercise due care as a driver.

Police did not immediately respond to an email from OutKick.

Morris has rushed for 434 yards and three touchdowns this season, including a 66-yard score in the first quarter of last week's 34-6 win over the Wildcats. Tennessee entered the game No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

The win put the Volunteers at the No. 8 seed in the bracket, and they now undoubtedly control their own destiny to play in the postseason. However, they may have to do it without Morris.
