Alabama Dealt Major News as Pressure Increases Before SEC Game vs. Tennessee

Alabama’s path to a quick turnaround after their upset loss to Georgia grows more complicated ahead of Saturday’s SEC showdown at Tennessee, as injuries continue to thin the Crimson Tide’s roster. Head coach Kalen DeBoer had previously downplayed the chances of freshman cornerback Jorden Edmonds—a highly touted five-star recruit who chose Alabama over Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas—returning before the Georgia game, but the 247Sports scouted recruit has now cleared the injury report for the first time.

With Alabama’s secondary struggling, Edmonds could finally make his debut against the Volunteers, though his impact remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the absence of star receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams opens the door for Noah Rogers, the NC State transfer who has been recovering from an early-season injury.

Though Rogers has seen limited action so far, his teammate Lotzeir Brooks has praised his work ethic and potential, suggesting the Crimson Tide may lean on him more heavily in Tennessee’s defense.
