‘Fire DeBoer’ cries echoed around Tuscaloosa following a shocker Saturday as powerhouse Alabama received a biting defeat against Florida State, 17-31. Now, a fresh dose of injuries is plaguing the roster. Wide receiver Ryan Williams went to the sidelines in the fourth quarter after absorbing a hit to the head. “Will go through concussion protocol throughout the week,” the head coach said, giving an injury update at the post-week 1 press conference on Monday. “Will be a day-to-day situation,” he added.
With 6:07 minutes remaining, he absorbed the hit by Seminoles’ Earl Little Jr. Williams and exited the game. He was down for the rest of the play. DeBoer further stressed that Ryan never really got going in the game before he was injured. “We’ll continue to make sure we continue to move him around,” he added. “There are a lot of different directions he can go.” He continued. “We’ll keep assessing that as we go through here.”
But Williams is not the only key weapon hit with injuries. WR Isaiah Horton is still fighting a lower-body injury. “Still feeling that a little bit,” the HC added. But he is expected to be back on the turf by the end of the week. DL Tim Keenan (ankle injury) and Jam Miller (dislocated collarbone) are still out. Will they be back for week 2? It will be on a week-to-week basis, as DeBoer informed. Moving on to Jah-Marien Latham, who also sustained a lower-body injury. His call will be on a day-to-day basis.
