Alabama, Georgia release availablity reports for massive SEC Week 5 showdown

Alabama and Georgia have released their respective availability reports for what will unequivocally be the headlining matchup of Week 5 — and perhaps the entire college football season.

For Alabama, linebackers Jeremiah Alexander and Qua Russaw, along with running back Richard Young, were probable leading up to the game, but are listed as game-time decisions. We’ll see if either of them ends up playing on Saturday.

Georgia, meanwhile, won’t have wide receiver London Humphreys available as he continues to recover from a bout of mononucleosis. Defensive lineman Jordan Hall and running back Roderick Robinson remain out, while defensive lineman Mykel Williams is a game-time decision after missing all but the season opener against Clemson. But Warren Brinson, whose own action has been limited to the game against Clemson, is finally off the injury report.

Kickoff from Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. The game — the first Alabama-Georgia game in a while without Nick Saban on the sidelines — will be televised on ESPN.
