What's next for Alabama football offensive line with William Sanders injury
Here's what's next for the Alabama football offensive line with William Sanders' injury.
Alabama football may be facing a long-term absence from its starting left guard due to William Sanders' injury, as noted by head coach Kalen DeBoer following their victory over Texas A&M on October 24. Sanders, who left the game in the second quarter, sustained a lower-extremity injury and is expected to be out for an extended period, with the recovery timeline uncertain, ranging from a few days to several weeks or more. Sanders was observed wearing a boot on his right foot and walking with crutches after the game.
Kaden Strayhorn took Sanders' place in the lineup, while Mal Waldrep Jr. is likely to fill in as Alabama's go-to left guard, stepping in for Sanders during his absence against Kentucky and during the South Carolina game. Waldrep has been serving as Alabama's center while Racin Delgatty has been sidelined for the past two weeks due to a lower-extremity injury. DeBoer expressed optimism about getting a number of players back for Alabama's upcoming road game against LSU on November 7, after a week-long break.
