COLUMBIA, Mo.— Ryan Williams played briefly for Alabama football in Saturday's victory at Missouri after his status was upgraded from probable on Saturday's SEC availability report.

The biggest Alabama inclusion on the initial availability report for the Missouri game was the sophomore wideout, who recorded 98 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Crimson Tide's 30-14 win over Vanderbilt. He was listed as probable in Wednesday's report, as well as the Friday evening update.

In-Game Injury Updates:

Postgame:

  • Kalen DeBoer said that both Jam Miller and Derek Meadows suffered concussions in the Crimson Tide's 27-24 win. He added that Ryan Williams, who was limited in the game and did not record a catch, was dinged up in the Vanderbilt game last weekend.

Fourth Quarter:

  • Lee is back in the game, as is Collins.
  • Crimson Tide CB Dijon Lee Jr. was injured on a collision with Bray Hubbard during a Beau Pribula run.
  • Miller is up and walking off the field with assistance from the training staff. His helmet is off and he's going straight to the locker room. He was hit in the head.
  • Alabama running back Jam Miller was injured on a fourth-down conversion with 10:23 to go. He hauled in a shovel pass for 10 yards and was knocked out of bounds.
  • Tigers DT Sterling Webb was briefly down, but walked off the field under his own power.

Third Quarter:

  • Missouri's Santana Banner walked off the field with training staff with 2:41 left in the third quarter and to applause from the home crowd.

Second Quarter:

  • Derek Meadows is now on the sidelines in sweatpants. It was evident, but now appears official, that he will not be back in this game.
  • Alabama's Kelby Collins is down with 13:19 left in the first half. Collins appears to have sustained an upper-body injury of some kind and is walking off under his own power.

First Quarter:

  • Meadows is helped off the field after a few minutes. He was able to stand up on his own but needed assitance to get off the field. He's heading straight to the locker room, bypassing the medical tent.
  • Kalen DeBoer is over with Meadows.
  • Freshman Alabama WR Derek Meadows took a huge hit on a hospital ball and is being tended to now. 3:32 remains on the clock in quarter number one. Flags flew immediately for targeting on Missouri's Marvin Burks Jr. Burks is ejected.

Alabama Pregame Availability Report:

Missouri Pregame Availability Report

Blake Craig, K — Out
Sam Horn, QB — Out
Logan Reichert, OL — Out

Fellow Crimson Tide wide receiver Jalen Hale was not a feature on the Wednesday edition of the report but emerged Friday and was listed as out. Hale has not played in either of Alabama's other two SEC games. Wide receiver Jaylen Mbakwe played last weekend against the Commodores; he was doubtful on the first availability report for this weekend's game but got downgraded to out Thursday.

Alabama's two season-ending injuries are reflected in the report: linebacker Jah-Marien Latham (neck) and defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman (knee). Both players suffered their injuries at practice. Linebacker Cayden Jones will also be out for the matchup against the Tigers, as will Qua Russaw, who broke his foot during the Georgia game but is not expected to be out for the season.

Missouri left tackle Cayden Green was questionable on Friday's report, but per a report from ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel, was poised to not only play but start against the Crimson Tide on Saturday. Green has been dealing with a foot injury. He was the only player on Missouri's Friday report who was listed as anything other than out. The Tigers will be down an offensive lineman, Logan Reichert, as well as kicker Blake Craig and quarterback (and baseball pitcher) Sam Horn.

Green was removed from the official availability report on Saturday morning. Alabama has six players who are officially out for the contest; the Tigers have three. The removals of Williams and Green from the Saturday report represent the only changes from Friday's availability report.
