Alabama star WR Ryan Coleman-Williams returns to game despite an apparent left leg injury
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama's star receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams returned to Saturday night's game against No. 2 Georgia following an apparent left leg injury. The Alabama Crimson Tide star's return came after he left the field with a problem during the second quarter.
Following halftime, Coleman-Williams was seen on an exercise bike before rejoining the team for the first play of the third quarter. Quarterback Keelon Russell attempted a pass to Coleman-Williams in the end zone from the 16-yard line late in the second quarter, but the throw was intercepted.
Coleman-Williams was unable to put any weight on his injured leg when he tried to stand up after the interception. He was attended to by Alabama's training staff before being escorted off the field.
The star receiver has accumulated 409 receiving yards and four touchdowns this season, with two of those touchdowns coming from catches against Georgia in the first half. Coleman-Williams had been wearing a brace on his right leg since last week's victory against Mississippi State, citing it as a "precautionary measure."
Alabama secured a 14-10 victory over Georgia, marking the first time the Bulldogs had trailed throughout the entire season.
