Kalen DeBoer gives injury update on starting Alabama offensive linemen
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer has updated the status of multiple starters ahead of Saturday's Week 5 showdown against Mississippi State.
Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an injury update on the starting offensive linemen ahead of their upcoming game against Mississippi State. Two of the linemen, Jayvin James and William Sanders, suffered injuries during Saturday night's game against the Gamecocks. Coach DeBoer stated that Sanders, who suffered an upper-body injury, is expected to recover in time for Saturday's game, while James, who sustained a lower-body injury, remains questionable.
Both injuries occurred in the previous game against Florida State. The absence of these players has impacted Alabama's offensive line, with Mal Waldrep Jr. filling in for Sanders at left guard and Tyrell Miller playing right tackle in James' absence. This has led to increased playing time for other linemen, including Jan-Marien Latham, who saw more action against South Carolina.
Alabama's next matchup will be on Saturday, October 3, at Mississippi State, with kickoff at 11 a.m. CT on ABC.
