Alabama has officially ruled out a pair of key players on offense for the SEC Championship Game against Georgia. Running back Jam Miller and tight end Josh Cuevas will not be available for Saturday’s top-10 showdown, per the SEC.
Miller’s out designation on the final SEC availability report confirms what has been expected this week. He is dealing with a lower-leg injury and was seen using crutches recently. Though he’s out for the SEC Championship Game, Alabama is expected to get Miller back for its next postseason game.
A senior, Miller is Alabama’s top ball-carrier, though with numbers not expected of the Crimson Tide’s leading rusher. Miller has logged 123 carries for 493 yards and 3 touchdowns this season. Kevin Riley is next on the team in rushing yards with 222 on 56 carries. Quarterback Ty Simpson is second on the team in rushing attempts with 75 for 126 yards.
Cuevas has 30 catches for 341 yards and 4 touchdowns in 10 games this season. He last played against Oklahoma, posting season-highs of 6 catches for 80 yards. Cuevas missed the last 2 games of the regular season after injuring his foot in practice.
The SEC Championship Game kicks off at 4 p.m. ET from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It will air on ABC.
