Alabama, currently ranked No. 6, faces a setback as their leading receiver, Ryan Coleman-Williams, may miss the upcoming Southeastern Conference rivalry game against 14th-ranked Tennessee on Saturday. Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer disclosed on Monday that Coleman-Williams is doubtful for the match due to multiple injuries, including a concussion.
The team captain has been dealing with a knee issue and a head problem. DeBoer stated that they will address both injuries, but he is uncertain about Coleman-Williams' availability for the game. The Crimson Tide might rely more heavily on Lotzeir Brooks, Rico Scott, Derek Meadows, Cederian Morgan and Noah Rodgers during this time.
Coleman-Williams had already been wearing a brace on his right knee during Alabama's 20-17 loss to then-No. 2 Georgia, where he limped off the field just before halftime after colliding with Georgia safety KJ Bolden during a deep pass. Despite protests from DeBoer and the crowd, no targeting penalty was called.
