The 17th-ranked Crimson Tide will go on the road this weekend to take on No. 5 Georgia, and a promising availability report should have Alabama fans feeling good going into this big-time matchup.
The promising news for Alabama fans is that running back Jam Miller, who has not played this season with a collarbone injury, is now completely off the injury report and is expected to make his season debut. Alabama has its RB1 back and ready to go for its biggest game of the season so far.
Last season, Miller rushed for a career-high 668 yards and 7 touchdowns on 145 attempts. With Miller’s return, Alabama’s offense gets another weapon to help against a Kirby Smart-led defense.
Defensive lineman Tim Keenan III has been listed as probable. Keenan missed the first 3 games of the season with an ankle injury that required surgery. He is expected to play this week, and Alabama’s defense will get a massive boost with his return.
This is great timing, as Keenan’s backup, Jeremiah Beaman, suffered a season-ending injury in practice before Alabama took on Wisconsin. Keenan had 40 total tackles and 2.5 sacks last year.
Linebacker Jah-Marien Latham is also ruled out for this week’s contest. Latham suffered a neck injury in practice on Tuesday and will not play this weekend. Tight end Danny Lewis Jr. is listed as probable.
Kickoff against the Bulldogs is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Georgia is a 3-point favorite, per BetMGM.
