The injury ends Moe Jr.'s junior season, during which he earned All-SEC honors for his performance on the Volunteers' offensive line.
No further details about the nature or timing of the lower-body injury were provided in the reporting.
Moe Jr.'s absence will impact Tennessee's offensive line depth as the team navigates the remainder of its schedule.
The Volunteers will need to rely on backup options or reshuffle existing personnel to fill the starting guard vacancy.
No official confirmation from Tennessee athletics or Moe Jr. himself was included in the ESPN report.
Sources did not specify whether the injury requires surgery or a specific recovery timeline beyond missing the rest of the season.
The loss comes as Tennessee continues to manage roster availability amid the physical demands of SEC play.
