Alabama LB Terrell Lewis suffers major injury, putting 2018 season in doubt
The Alabama Crimson Tide dismissed LB VanDarius Cowan from the team on Monday, and on Tuesday, the team got more bad news.
On Tuesday, coach Nick Saban issued a statement on LB Terrell Lewis, saying that the junior linebacker had suffered a torn ACL.
According to the statement, which you can read below, Saban said the injury was suffered while training last week:

The statement didn’t officially rule Lewis out for the 2018 season, but it’s hard to imagine him recovering in time to contribute to the 2018 Crimson Tide.
A different injury limited Lewis to just four games last season, when he recorded 16 tackles and a sack for the Tide.
