Alabama DL Justin Eboigbe likely out for season after neck surgery

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe is likely out for the season with a neck injury.

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said Wednesday Eboigbe has had surgery. He played in the first four games but hasn't seen action since.

"He had a procedure done that would enhance his opportunity to be able to play in the future, but I don't think that's going to come this season," Saban said.

Eboigbe made 11 tackles and had two quarterback hurries in the first four games. Saban had announced his injury after Alabama beat Arkansas on Oct.
