Alabama wideout and return specialist Jaylen Waddle is expected to be out for the season after suffering what coach Nick Saban called a combination of a high-ankle sprain and a fracture during the opening kickoff of Saturday's 48-17 win over host Tennessee in Knoxville.
Saban said the injury is similar to the one former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake suffered in 2014, which caused him to miss most of that season.
"We're going to fly him back privately with the doctors and take him back to Birmingham and see what we have to do right away,'' Saban said of Waddle.
