Nick Saban addresses Alabama injuries, including 1 to key offensive starter

Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are getting ready for the 2022 season, one in which they’ll be favored to win the national title.

But, as fall camp continues, the Tide are dealing with a few injuries, though Saban doesn’t sound too concerned about them.

On Sunday, the Alabama coach revealed that starting TE Cam Latu has a minor knee injury and will miss a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, freshman DL Isaiah Hastings, freshman OL Elijah Pritchett and freshman WR Aaron Anderson are all dealing with various injuries, too:

Nick Saban addressing injuries off the top: Cameron Latu has a "minor knee injury" and is out "a couple weeks." He said Isaiah Hastings "came in with an injury, we fixed, he'll be back shortly."

Elijah Pritchett "tore his pec in the weight room" and will be "out a little."

Aaron Anderson has a "little knee injury" and will be "back in a few weeks."

Saban much more open about injuries today, addressing them off the top.

Meanwhile, Louisville transfer WR Tyler Harrell is also dealing with some lingering injury issues:

Saban says Louisville transfer WR Tyler Harrell has been "in and out a little bit." Harrell has been able to practice but not at 100 percent

It sounds like Latu will be back for Week 1 if all goes according to plan over the next few weeks.
