INJURY UPDATE: Alabama TE Cameron Latu returns after scare

Alabama tight end Cameron Latu seems to be good after an injury scare in the second quarter against Vanderbilt.

In the second quarter, Alabama quarterback [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] tried to connect with tight end [autotag]Cameron Latu[/autotag] on fourth down but the pass fell to the ground. Latu also went to the ground holding his right knee.

Fortunately for Latu and the Tide, the injury seems to be insignificant as the talented senior returned to the field on the following possession.

If the Tide were to lose Latu it would be a big blow to the Alabama offense. The tight end room is very young and inexperienced behind Cameron. Young and Latu also have great chemistry on the field and that is something that is hard to replace.
