Damari Alston out indefinitely with shoulder injury

Auburn has lost another key player to injury.

[autotag]Damari Alston[/autotag] has been ruled out indefinitely after dislocating his shoulder in Auburn’s 27-10 loss to Texas A&M, [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] announced Monday.

“Damari will be out for a period of time, for sure,” Freeze said. “They’re doing some more tests today on that, but he had a dislocated shoulder for sure.”

He suffered the injury in the first quarter of the game when he caught a pitch from [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] and was immediately hit by a Texas A&M defender. The sophomore went to the medical tent before going to the locker room and returning to the sideline in street clothes and a sling.

Freeze was unable to provide a timeline for when Alston could return to action.

Thankfully for Auburn, running back is probably the deepest position on the roster with Hunter, [autotag]Brian Battie[/autotag] and [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb[/autotag] also impressing at times this season.

Auburn will return to action Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT when they host the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
