Kalen DeBoer has provided an injury update for NC State transfer Noah Rogers after the new Alabama receiver suffered an injury at A-Day last Saturday while attempting to come down with a reception in the end zone. Rogers, who had to be carted to the locker room after suffering a lower-body injury, will miss the start of Alabama’s season according to the Alabama head coach.
There is some good news, however. Though he will miss time, DeBoer expects that Rogers will not miss the entirety of the season for the Crimson Tide.
“Unfortunately, he suffered an injury that’s gonna take a little while to recover, and it will bleed into the season here a little bit,” DeBoer told Alabama radio host Ryan Fowler. “I’m not gonna give a timeline exactly, but he won’t be ready to go right when the season starts. We do expect it to be a situation where he will get to be back during the season.”
Obviously, this is an unfortunate situation for Rogers being injured in a game that ultimately does not matter. The NC State transfer was expected to play a major role for the Crimson Tide this season, too.
Rogers totaled 68 receptions for 919 yards and 3 touchdowns across his 2 seasons at NC State, averaging around 3 receptions per game across 24 appearances for the Wolfpack, including an 8-reception, 96-yard outing in an upset win over No. 8 Georgia Tech.
Alabama’s season will kick off on September 5 as the Crimson Tide host East Carolina.
