Alabama's injury misfortune against Wisconsin comes with a silver lining ahead of a huge game vs. Georgia

The Alabama Crimson Tide put on a show in their first road contest of the season, dismantling the Wisconsin Badgers 42-10.  No one shined brother than their fearless leader and signal caller Jalen Milroe, whose performance catapulted him into the front running for the Heisman trophy.  Yet there were some brown spots on an otherwise […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide put on a show in their first road contest of the season, dismantling the Wisconsin Badgers 42-10. 

No one shined brother than their fearless leader and signal caller Jalen Milroe, whose performance catapulted him into the front running for the Heisman trophy

Yet there were some brown spots on an otherwise spotless banana regarding injuries to key contributors. 

And while there is never a good time to be injured, these come at the best time possible:


DeBoer Gives Updates on Moore, Russaw and Young

"Malachi [Moore] got hit to the head. So I think we're just going through the protocol with him. It helps having the bye week here. So I'm thinking he'll be all right, be fine. [OLB Qua] Russaw, a lower leg. I don't know exactly where, but I know it is lower and just continue to evaluate him. [RB] Richard Young, I think same thing. So just lower leg, I think actually very similar below the knee area. So just continue to evaluate those guys. Definitely good to have a couple weeks here, getting ready."

If you didn't know why DeBoer said a couple of weeks to get ready, that's because the Tide are off next weekend ahead of a massive showdown with the Georgia Bulldogs on SEP. 28th. 

The leg injuries to Russaw and Young don't seem to be too major, but neither one, along with Malachi Moore returned to action, and Moore's head injury could be the type of thing that takes time if deemed a concussion. 

Either way, the bye gives him plenty of time to make his return, something Alabama will need despite Georgia's more than questionable performance against the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday night.
