Alabama will enter its matchup with Tennessee at Neyland Stadium on Saturday a little shorthanded, and the Crimson Tide received more bad news on Friday night.
According to the SEC’s injury report, center Racin Delgatty was ruled out with a lower-body injury.
Alabama listed Delgatty as doubtful for Thursday, so it’s not surprising he won’t be available.
Delgatty suffered a lower-body injury in the Week 6 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, and head coach Kalen DeBoer updated his status on Monday.
“Just with his lower-body injury, lower leg injury, just continue to evaluate him and kind of see where he’s at in the days ahead,” DeBoer said, via 247 Sports. “So obviously, he’ll be pretty sore and kind of working through things and limited for sure early in the week. We’ll certainly get some reps with other guys, and in particular probably Mal Waldrep, Casey Poe, guys like that.”
