@alabama__ftbl: It’s unlikely that Ryan Coleman-Williams plays Saturday against Tennessee. Alabama football’s junior wide receiver hasn’t been totally ruled out yet, but even Kalen DeBoer admitted that a combination of leg and head injuries was making it hard to see him on the field in Knoxville. “Ryan has got a couple things going on,” DeBoer told reporters during his weekly press conference on Monday. “Worked through an injury to his knee that’s been kind of going on, and so, we’ll deal with that. Got the head issue as well. So, we’re gonna address that, even the lower-extremity there this week. Pretty good chance we wouldn’t have him here this weekend. I think he would be probably week-to-week after that.” Coleman-Williams took a helmet-to-helmet hit late in Alabama’s Saturday loss to Georgia. He did not return, and looked extremely wobbly as he was helped up, signalling a possible concussion. According to his fellow wideout Lotzeir Brooks, Coleman-Williams, who he said will be out “for a little while,” has been recovering, but isn’t letting his teammates forget about him.

Always gives us a little speech before practice and, and I just appreciate him.” Brooks was asked what Coleman-Williams had told the receivers on Tuesday. “Just go 1-0,” Brooks said. “Be honed in on the day, and what gets thrown at us, we just got to be ready.” With Coleman-Williams sidelined, Brooks would take a larger role in the offense. Other Crimson Tide players could also seem more reps, including Rico Scott, Cederian Morgan, Derek Meadows and Noah Rogers. “Really just next man up,” Brooks said of wideout coach Derrick Nix’s message to the room. “We all gotta, we just gotta play for him. Can’t just harp on him. Gotta go 1-0m just keep paying, get ready for the next game.
