Alabama's Offensive Line in Peril | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s SEC opener against Kentucky looms with major uncertainty as starting guard Michael Carroll is listed doubtful—likely out—with concussion concerns. Carroll, the only returning offensive line starter from last year, is crucial for stability; his absence forces a rushed rebuild of chemistry on the line ahead of their first road conference game. Quarterback Keelon Russell faces a tough test against a physical Kentucky defense, while running back AK Dear and DB Jireh Edwards are also questionable after missing the opener. Wideout Noah Rogers remains sidelined. With Alabama ranked 12th and coming in 1-0, the pressure mounts to adapt quickly—especially if Carroll can’t go. Game day is Friday at 2:30 PM ET on ABC.
