Leading tackler in loss Gifford totaled 11 tackles (eight solo) during Tennessee's loss versus Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact Gifford got the start at linebacker Sunday as Kenneth Murray (hamstring) and Jerome Baker (neck) were both out and managed to record a season-high 11 tackles, which were also the most on the team.

Gets starting opportunity Week 14 Gifford is starting at linebacker in Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

However, he'll get a big opportunity to show off his skill set Sunday. Gifford's move into a starting role comes as a result of Kenneth Murray (hamstring) and Jerome Baker (neck) both being out against the Jaguars.
