INDIANAPOLIS -- Alabama starting offensive linemen Emil Ekiyor Jr. and Chris Owens are playing Monday night against Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T.
Both players were injured in the Cotton Bowl semifinal win over Cincinnati. Ekiyor, a redshirt junior, has started every game at right guard. He left the game last week in the first quarter with a shoulder injury. Owens, the Tide's right tackle, left the Cincinnati game in the fourth quarter with a foot injury.
In addition, sources told ESPN that redshirt junior cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis will be available to play in the game.
