One play into Alabama’s game against Tennessee and the Crimson Tide were at a loss as wide receiver Jaylen Waddle went down with an ankle injury which head coach Nick Saban later said that he would miss the remainder of the season.
“It’s really a sad time for me, for Jaylen Waddle and his family,” Saban said following the game. “He’s got a very similar injury to what Kenyan Drake had. It’s a high ankle sprain but also a fracture, so they’ll probably have to do surgery on him. We’re gonna fly him back privately with doctors and take him right to Birmingham and see what we have to do right away.
