Injuries are a part of the game of football, unfortunately. With that being said, both Alabama and Florida are still relatively healthy overall. But there are a few injury updates that need to be addressed before the two teams collide in Gainesville.
For Florida, it was reported earlier by Gators Wire that quarterback Anthony Richardson’s availability is pending the results of an MRI from earlier Saturday morning.
Richardson’s availability will play a critical role in the outcome of today’s contest between the Tide and the Gators.
It should also be noted that starting linebacker Ventrell Miller is out for the remainder of the season for the Gators with torn biceps.
On Alabama’s end, the Tide is mostly healthy aside from Christopher Allen. Last weekend starting corners Josh Jobe and Jayln Armour-Davis missed the contest against Mercer with injuries. All indications are that both players will be available today.
The biggest question heading into today’s matchup for Alabama is the status of super sophomore Will Anderson. Anderson limped off the field against Mercer early in the second half last week, but according to Coach Saban, Anderson practiced Thursday.
During his weekly radio program on Thursday night, Saban said, “he did more today than he has done all week”.
It hasn’t officially been announced that Anderson will play, but it seems he is very likely to compete today against the Gators.
