Alabama’s Josh Ford set to ‘give it a go’ vs. Georgia despite broken arm

Alabama’s junior tight end **Josh Ford** will attempt to play through a broken arm when the Crimson Tide face Georgia in what could be the season’s defining matchup. Ford suffered the injury during Alabama’s 56-23 victory over Mississippi State in Week 5 and underwent surgery on Sunday, but reports suggest he will suit up against the Bulldogs despite the setback.

The transfer tight end, who joined Alabama from Oklahoma State before the 2023 season, has primarily contributed as a blocker this year, recording just one reception for three yards and a touchdown in five games. With head coach **Kalen DeBoer** likely relying on Ford’s physical presence, the Crimson Tide may deploy him more as an extra offensive lineman rather than a traditional pass-catching threat.

Georgia, currently ranked No. 2, will look to capitalize on Alabama’s (No.

6) potential defensive adjustments if Ford’s role is limited by his injury.
