Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer provided injury updates after his team improved to a 3-0 record following a dominant 42-10 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday. Despite the win, the Crimson Tide dealt with multiple injuries, including a significant one to defensive back Malachi Moore, who sustained a head injury. DeBoer mentioned that while Moore showed positive signs, the team would follow concussion protocols to ensure his safe return.
In addition, linebacker Qua Russaw and running back Richard Young were also injured during the game. DeBoer was uncertain about Young’s recovery but was optimistic about Russaw, expecting him to participate in practice later in the week. He emphasized the importance of the upcoming bye week in aiding their recovery.
Wide receiver and punt returner Cole Adams, who missed the Wisconsin game due to an arm injury sustained in Week 2 against South Florida, is reportedly making progress in his rehabilitation, according to DeBoer.
Alabama has a bye week before a highly anticipated Week 5 matchup against No. 2 Georgia in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide showed significant improvement after a shaky start against South Florida, closing that game strong and continuing their momentum against Wisconsin. The upcoming showdown with Georgia is a rematch of last season’s SEC Championship and holds significant implications for both teams’ chances of reaching the conference title game in Atlanta.
Georgia, also 3-0, narrowly defeated Kentucky 13-12 in Week 3 and will use its bye week to prepare for the blockbuster game on September 28. Both teams remain undefeated, setting the stage for one of the season’s most pivotal matchups.
