Alabama's Injury Woes vs Kentucky | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s quarterback Keelon Russell shines in his debut, throwing for over 250 yards and scoring a rushing TD, but the Tide face a tough test against Kentucky with key players sidelined — running back AK Dear (ankle) and DB Jireh Edwards (arm) questionable, and OL Michael Carroll doubtful. Meanwhile, Kentucky gets a boost with Oklahoma transfer Jovantae Barnes returning to their backfield. With pressure mounting under new coach Kalen DeBoer to deliver an SEC title after last year’s playoff heartbreak, Alabama needs more than Russell to step up — especially as WR Ryan Coleman-Williams drops crucial passes.
