Kalen DeBoer provides update on injured Alabama starter after A&M win
Alabama guard William Sanders exited the Tide's win Saturday early due to injury. Here is what Kalen DeBoer said about Sanders' status after the game.
The Alabama Crimson Tide faced another setback to their roster on Saturday as left guard William Sanders injured his lower extremity during the second quarter of their game against Texas A&M. Sanders was unable to return to the game and was replaced by Michigan transfer Kaden Strayhorn, who filled in for the remainder of the contest.
After the Crimson Tide's 31-20 victory, head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an update on Sanders' condition during a postgame press conference. DeBoer stated that Sanders has a lower extremity injury and will be evaluated further. It is uncertain at this point whether Sanders will miss any games, but it could be anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks.
Sanders joins a growing list of injured Alabama players, which includes Ryan Coleman-Williams, Zabien Brown, Racin Delgatty, and Terrance Green, among others, as the team enters Week 9. The Crimson Tide will not play during that week and will take a much-needed bye. Their next game will be on Saturday, November 7, against LSU.
