Alabama Crimson Tide News: DeBoer updates injuries, permanent captains, SEC schedule

Kalen DeBoer updates injuries of Jam Miller, James Smith, and Jaeden Roberts
After practice on Thursday, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer provided injury updates on three pivotal Crimson Tide players: RB Jam Miller, OG Jaeden Roberts, and DT James Smith.

According to DeBoer, Miller will miss at least the first game of the season in Tallahassee against Florida State, and possibly more. They consider the senior RB week-to-week for now.

For Smith, the junior DT is back to practice, which signals that he should be healthy and ready to play next week against Florida State.

The news was less positive on Roberts. The senior guard remains in concussion protocol and is not participating in practice right now. With just eight days remaining until the season opener, it looks more and more likely that, even if Roberts is healthy enough to play, he probably won’t start.

Freshman CB Dijon Lee earns high praise from DC Kane Wommack

Freshman CB Dijon Lee has been the talk of campus since he enrolled in January. Despite Alabama returning both of its starting CBs from last season, Lee is pushing for serious playing time in his first season in Tuscaloosa.

According to Kane Wommack, Lee is already considered a starter. Zabien Brown and Domani Jackson are still likely to be listed as starters, but it has become clear that Lee is going to play a big role as a true freshman.

5-star Alabama commit EJ Crowell suspended for ridiculous reason

5-star Alabama RB commitment EJ Crowell will miss Jackson High School’s season opener against Saraland on Friday night. The clue-chip RB was issued a self-imposed one-game suspension by his high school to avoid the possibility of a much longer one. Crowell was alleged to have violated the AHSAA’s amateurism policy by “accepting a gift.”

As it turns out, that gift was a car being loaned to him for three weeks by his godfather. The AHSAA continues to be a deeply unserious organization.
