Alabama Faces Tennessee Amid Key Injury Concerns

No. 6 Alabama and No. 14 Tennessee, both 5-1, are set to meet Saturday at Neyland Stadium in the “Third Saturday in October” rivalry. Alabama is likely to be without leading receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, who is dealing with knee and head injuries, and also has concerns on its offensive line; Lotzeir Brooks and Rico Scott could take on larger roles. Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell is looking to rebound after a difficult game against Georgia, which Alabama lost 20-17. Tennessee beat Arkansas 24-17, but quarterback uncertainty remains after George MacIntyre’s first start included two interceptions. Tennessee coach Josh Heupel has emphasized the need to improve blocking against Alabama.
