Kadyn Proctor expected to make season debut vs. Wisconsin, per report
Kadyn Proctor is expected to be available for Alabama’s Week 3 contest against Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon, according to a report.
That news was shared by 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz and Alex Scarborough on Friday afternoon. Proctor missed Alabama’s wins over Western Kentucky and South Florida after suffering a shoulder injury in pregame warmups prior to the WKU game.

This is a significant development for Alabama, as the Tide struggled at that position vs. South Florida with Proctor out. Alabama has given 5 tackles significant snaps so far this season, and only 1 (Tyler Booker) has received a pass blocking grade above a 55 from Pro Football Focus.
When healthy, Proctor is one of the top offensive tackles in the country. As a true freshman last season, he anchored Alabama’s left side and helped bring the Tide all the way to the College Football Playoff.
Alabama is a significant betting favorite over Wisconsin on Saturday. Kalen DeBoer and the Tide are favored by 16 points over the Badgers, per the latest odds from Bet365.
Kickoff is at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
It will be nice to see the big guy back. We will need him in tip top football shape in a few weeks when we get our first true test of the season against Georgia. RTR!
