Alabama Football injury report heading into Week 5 vs. Arkansas Razorbacks

The latest injury report for Alabama Football heading into Week 5 matchup versus Arkansas.

Alabama has various injuries across the roster. The most depleted position as a result of injury has been at wide receiver. So far, wide receivers JoJo Earle, Tyler Harrell, and Aaron Anderson have all been nursing injuries. They have yet to see game action. However, they all suited up against Vanderbilt and partook in warm-ups.

It is likely that all three will be available for Saturday’s matchup versus Arkansas. On the other hand, there are several key injuries to keep an eye on along the defensive side of the ball. Starting defensive backs Jordan Battle and Khyree Jackson both suffered injuries in recent weeks.

Jackson was sidelined this past week with an ankle injury while Battle suffered a mild leg injury during the Tide’s matchup versus the Commodores. It will be interesting to see if they see a lot of action or are limited on Saturday. Another starter that suffered an injury was Byron Young. He injured his ankle this past weekend and is also a player to monitor.

Roll Tide Wire will take a look at Alabama’s injury report heading into their Week 5 matchup versus Arkansas.

Alabama Football injury report heading into Week 4 vs. Vanderbilt Commodores

The latest injury report for Alabama Football heading into Week 4 matchup versus Vanderbilt.

Alabama has been fortunate to remain healthy for the most part. Through the first three games, only several of the Tide’s players have suffered injuries. Almost all of them have been minor. Coach Saban also mentioned in a press conference last week that the expectation is that two of Alabama’s key playmakers will return for the Arkansas game on Oct. 1.

In recent years, Alabama has been plagued with season-ending injuries. Last season, both Jameson Williams and John Metchie III suffered season-ending injuries. Now, the Crimson Tide are hoping to remain healthy as they are approaching a tough stretch of conference games. After Vanderbilt, the schedule gets tough for the Crimson Tide.

Alabama will travel to Fayetteville to face Arkansas on Oct. 1. Then, the Crimson Tide will return home to face Texas A&M on Oct. 8. The last opponent for the three-game stretch will be Tennessee on Oct. 15. It is crucial that Alabama can remain healthy because this is likely the toughest skid of the season for the Crimson Tide.

Roll Tide Wire will now take a look at Alabama’s injury report ahead of their Week 4 matchup versus Vanderbilt.

INJURY REPORT: The latest ahead of Alabama’s Week 1 matchup against Utah State

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at Alabama’s injury report heading into week one’s matchup with the Utah State Aggies.

During fall practices, Alabama suffered a few injuries to key positions, such as wide receiver and cornerback.

Sophomore JoJo Earle suffered a fractured foot during fall practice. Along with Earle, incoming transfer Tyler Harrell has been recovering from a sprained foot, which Coach Saban mentioned during his press conference this past week.

Several other Alabama players were listed on the latest injury report that was posted by Tide Illustrated’s Tony Tsoukalas. The three that were mentioned in Tsoukalas’s tweet were Seth McLaughlin, Eli Ricks, and Khyree Jackson.

Eli Ricks has been dealing with a lingering back injury. However, Coach Saban said in his presser that he dressed out and warmed up during Alabama’s second scrimmage on July 20. On the other hand, Khyree Jackson has been nursing a groin injury, but Coach Saban did mention that he was available and participated in the second scrimmage.

Seth McLaughlin served primarily as the backup center until starting center Darrian Dalcourt suffered an injury late in the season. Although McLaughlin was expected by many to be the starting center in week one, that does not appear to be the case. Coach Saban mentioned that he did not participate in the latest scrimmage.

Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on Alabama football’s injury report heading into this week’s matchup against Utah State.

Alabama Morning Drive: Best from the Alabama coaches on Sunday’s media day

The best from Sunday’s media appearance from Nick Saban, Bill O’Brien, and Pete Golding.

Good morning, Tide fans and welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive. I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to get another work week underway.

On Sunday Alabama head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag], offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, and defensive coordinator [autotag]Pete Golding[/autotag] took time to have their annual media day in Tuscaloosa. This is the only time during the season that the two coordinators will be available to answer questions from the media, so this is generally a very interactive experience.

I thought to start the week we could take a look at some of the best comments from the Alabama coaches as fall camp begins to pick up speed.

Five defensive players for Alabama with something to prove in 2022

These 5 defenders have something to prove in the 2022 college football season.

The Alabama football team has completed a handful of practices so far this spring and fans are looking forward to the climax of spring training on April 16 when the Tide will host its annual “A-Day”.

With each new season, a new cast of characters will be thrust into the spotlight to try and help the Crimson Tide ascend to glory. Sometimes players can come right in and make an instant impact, but for others it takes time.

Over the next few days, we are going to look at a handful of players from each side of the ball that have something to prove in the 2022 season. Today we will look at the defensive side of the ball.

Let’s roll.

5 second-year defenders to watch this spring

5 second-year defenders to watch this spring

Earlier this week Alabama announced that its annual “A-Day” game would take place on Saturday, April 16. So it shouldn’t be too many more weeks before Nick Saban and his players hit the practice field to prepare for the public scrimmage.

As we anticipate the return of Alabama football I thought we could take a look at a handful of second-year defenders that Tide fans should be keeping their eyes on this spring.

BREAKING: Top JUCO CB Khyree Jackson commits to Alabama

Alabama landed its second commitment of the day when three-star JUCO cornerback Khyree Jackson pledged on Saturday.

Alabama has now landed two commitments on Saturday only. First, it was four-star defensive end Monkell Goodwine out of Maryland, who made his announcement earlier in the day.

Now, the Crimson Tide has scored cornerback Khyree Jackson, a three-star JUCO prospect at East Mississippi Community College. The news of Jackson’s commitment was announced on social media, in particular his Instagram account.

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Jackson is rated as the No. 5 JUCO prospect and No. 2 JUCO cornerback. The rankings from the team at 247Sports, however, have him listed as a four-star prospect, the nation’s top JUCO cornerback and the No. 3 overall JUCO player.

Adding Jackson and Goodwine to the mix puts the number of commitments for Alabama 18 total. Of those, 10 are on defense, seven are on offense and one there’s one athlete in Kadarius Calloway, who is expected to play safety at the next level.

For the second time this weekend, Alabama, who currently has the No. 2 recruiting class for 2021, has closed the gap with the top-ranked class in Ohio State.

No. 2 JUCO CB Khyree Jackson will make his college announcement

Three-star JUCO cornerback Khyree Jackson is set to make his college decision at 6:00 p.m. CT on Saturday. Will it be the Crimson Tide?

There are several of the nation’s top prospects who will be making their college decisions over the weekend. Included in that group is Khyree Jackson, a three-star JUCO cornerback who the Alabama coaching staff is extremely high on.

There will be some who will get hung up on Jackson only being listed as a three-star prospect, but that should not be the focus. He’s got a ton of versatility that will be valuable to whichever defenses ends up landing his services.

In other words, there is a lot to love about the East Mississppi Community College product. Jackson is set to make his announcement today at 6:00 p.m. CT.

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Jackson is rated as the No. 5 JUCO prospect and No. 2 JUCO cornerback. The rankings from the team at 247Sports, however, have him listed as a four-star prospect, the nation’s top JUCO cornerback and the No. 3 overall JUCO player.

At 6-foot-3, 197 pounds, Jackson has the physical makeup to be a piece that Nick Saban and Pete Golding can move around on defense. He can play outside corner, safety or maybe even the Star position. In other words, he’s the kind of player you can line up on athletic tight ends or big-bodied receivers who are tough to deal with.

At this time, Alabama is considered one of the favorites to land the Maryland native. His final four comes down to Florida, Oregon, Oklahoma and the Crimson Tide.

Oklahoma makes final six for JUCO CB Khyree Jackson

Oklahoma continues to make deep runs at some of the country’s best in the 2021 class. Top JUCO corner Khyree Williams has OU in his top six.

Oklahoma continues to make deep runs at some of the country’s best in the 2021 recruiting class.

The Sooners have been popping up in what feels like every final list whether they have a shot or not at highly-touted prospects. Late Saturday was no different.

After making the final six for four-star outside linebacker Jeremiah ‘Scooby’ Williams on Friday, Oklahoma has made the final six for East Mississippi Community College defensive back Khyree Jackson.

Jackson is listed as a three-star prospect, but has garnered attention from the likes of Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida and Oregon. The highly touted junior college prospect final six includes those four as well as South Carolina and Kentucky.

The Sooners jumped on board in late Feb. Oklahoma has one defensive back committed thus far in in-state safety Jordan Mukes. Jackson announced earlier in the day that he would announce his commitment on July 11.

Oklahoma’s 2021 recruiting class has seven commitments and is ranked as the 37th best class in the country at the point.
