The Crimson Tide handed Arkansas its 16th straight SEC loss Saturday night, and the Hogs were down 41-0 at halftime before Nick Saban and crew called off the dogs.
However, it wasn’t all good news in Alabama’s 48-7 win over Arkansas.
Starting running back Najee Harris and wide receiver DeVonta Smith left with injuries. Harris limped to the sideline and out of the injury tent, and Smith was seen wearing a sling on his left shoulder during the game.
Saban updated both injuries during his postgame press conference.
Najee Harris “barely” twisted his ankle and “is fine,” Nick Saban says.
DeVonta Smith bruised his shoulder will be out for a few days.
Ale Kaho fractured his hand and will play in a cast.
Shyheim Carter has a minor injury.

Smith recorded four catches for 67 yards, and Harris rushed 13 times for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Both are key for the Tide’s offense, along with Tua Tagovailoa.
The bye week comes at the perfect time for the Crimson Tide. It allows Alabama to get healthy before its showdown against LSU on November 9.
