During the Alabama Crimson Tide’s 42-13 blowout victory over the LSU Tigers on Saturday night in Baton Rouge, the program had a few notable players go down with injuries, with some of those going on to not return to the game as well.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer provided updates on some these players during his Monday afternoon press conference as well, the first of which was starting outside linebacker Que Robinson.
Robinson is a player where an update was already known, as reports came out Sunday night the starter would be missing the remainder of the 2024 season. DeBoer also confirmed those reports Monday afternoon, saying:
“With Que’s injury, it is certainly determined now that he will be out the remainder of the year unfortunately,” DeBoer said.
Another notable defensive player for Alabama that was injured came at the safety position in DeVonta Smith, who finished the game with five tackles.
DeBoer also gave an update on Smith, saying:
“With DeVonta, it will be something just throughout the week we’ll continue to manage and kind of see where he’s at,” DeBoer said. “I haven’t heard the update today, but I think he’ll be fine as the week continues on.”
The availability of Smith for Saturday’s game against Mercer will certainly be something to monitor going throughout the week.
