Nick Saban provides injury updates on RB Roydell Williams, WR JoJo Earle
Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide rolled to an easy 59-3 win over an overmatched New Mexico State team on Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa.
But, the win did take its toll on the Tide, as a couple of players suffered significant injuries.
After the game, Saban revealed that RB Roydell Williams would be out “probably for a good while,” and that WR JoJo Earle will also likely miss some time moving forward:

Alabama has some depth at running back with Brian Robinson Jr. and Trey Sanders, but losing Williams will hurt.
We’ll have to see how long he and Earle are out as the season goes on.
