Alabama football injury updates at Vanderbilt, Digi Mart USA News (Nashville, Tennessee): No. 3 Alabama is expected to be without several key players for Saturday’s SEC road showdown at Vanderbilt, according to a BamaCentral report published by Si.com.
Before game day, the Crimson Tide had already ruled out eight players, with five others listed as “probable,” including quarterback Keelon Russell. The report notes that a player listed as available does not necessarily mean he will play.
Backup quarterback Austin Mack is expected to start for Alabama.
On the final pregame report, Russell and defensive back Chuck McDonald III were listed as game-time decisions. Running back EJ Crowell, defensive back Zabien Brown and offensive lineman William Sanders were removed from the report, meaning they are available to play against the Commodores.
The publisher said its story would be updated throughout the game, including any postgame comments from head coach Kalen DeBoer.
