TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster left the Chattanooga game early with an apparent hand injury, but quickly returned.

Foster appeared to be clutching his left hand as he came off the field in the first quarter for the top-ranked Crimson Tide. He had been wearing a protective covering on the hand during practices and games because of a chipped bone.

He came back early in the second quarter and made a tackle behind the line on Chattanooga's first play.
