The Alabama Crimson Tide will look to bounce back after a razor close loss to the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 6 when they face off against the Tennessee Volunteers. But unfortunately, they will not be at full strength offensively in Saturday's game.
Junior wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams has been one of the more reliable and effective wide receivers in all of college football this season for the Crimson Tide. Prior to their loss to Georgia, Coleman-Williams had put together a three-game streak of finding the end zone at least once.
During their Week 6 loss to Georgia, Coleman-Williams was forced to exit the game after both seemingly re-aggravating a knee injury in the game and suffering a concussion, which was what ultimately cut his game in Week 6 short.

Leading up to the team's Week 7 game, there was not much optimism that Coleman-Williams was going to be able to suit up for the game. And that reality was confirmed on Wednesday when Alabama released their weekly injury report, along with a report on the matter from Pete Nakos of On3 Sports.

Considering Coleman-Williams leads the team in every major statistical category, including receptions (tied with Lotzeir Brooks), receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns, his absence on Saturday will almost certainly be missed.
Add in the fact that the Tennessee Volunteers allow just 161.3 passing yards per game to opposing teams, the second-lowest passing yards allowed to opponents in the SEC, and it could very well be a tough day for Alabama star quarterback Keelon Russell.
Saturday's Alabama-Tennessee matchup will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
