Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle leaves game with ankle injury

Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle appeared to suffer an ankle injury on the opening kickoff of Saturday’s game against Tennessee

On the first play of Saturday’s game against Tennessee, Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury, and immediately left the game.

Waddle was injured at the end of returning the opening kickoff, and looked visibly upset as he grabbed his ankle and then limped off the field. He would eventually be helped to a cart before heading back to the locker room.

One of the most explosive playmakers in all of college football, Waddle is also one of the top prospects at his position in the 2021 NFL Draft class. If the injury proves to be significant, it will leave the Crimson Tide with a huge absence as they try to remain undefeated and chase another national title.
