Tennessee assistant coach William Inge has been released from the hospital and started a rehabilitation process from an undisclosed illness, he announced Wednesday evening.
Inge, 52, was hospitalized with an illness three weeks ago.
"I want to thank all the staff at UT Medical Center for their amazing care and support," Inge said in a statement released on social media. "I was released from the hospital on Tuesday. I have begun the rehab process, and I am getting stronger by the day. My family and I are incredibly grateful to everyone who has reached out, Vol Nation and especially our staff and team. Your love and support during this time has been inspiring."
Inge has coached Tennessee's linebackers since 2024. His lengthy career included recent stops at Fresno State, Indiana and Washington. He was part of the Huskies' staff that beat Texas in the Sugar Bowl playoff semifinal and played for a national championship three years ago.
Following the Vols' win at Arkansas on Saturday, coach Josh Heupel told reporters that Inge was doing well.
"Coach Inge faced a ton of adversity and was really fighting for his life and kind of came out of nowhere," he said. "There's a lot of people that have been praying [for] our football family, university, but our fans too, and sometimes it's rare in in this world that you get to see a true miracle right before your eyes, but that's truly what we've been able to see."
