Alabama football has to replace a five-year veteran

When you looked at Alabama football‘s 2021 defense at the start of the year, the bright spot was having so many returning starters on defense. One of the most underrated was Chris Allen, an outside linebacker who has been with the team since 2017.

Last season, Allen led the Tide in tackles for loss and forced two fumbles. He decided to return for another year with the Tide, but it seems his season is over after a foot injury in Alabama’s opener.
