Alabama Crimson Tide

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The grind of the SEC slate is starting to catch up with Alabama. The No. 6 Crimson Tide is the least healthy it has been all year, and will be without three key starters against No. 14 Tennessee.

Center Racin Delgatty, defensive tackle Terrance Green, and wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams will all be out for The Third Saturday in October. Each of the trio has started all six games for Alabama and is among the most valuable players on the team. Alabama gets some relief as wolf linebacker Justin Hill and defensive back Jorden Edmonds are set to return to the field today.

Tight end Josh Ford will be a game-time decision. He played with a broken arm against Georgia, but was added back to the injury report on Friday as "questionable."

This article will be updated with injury-related information throughout the game.
