Alabama wide receiver JoJo Earle is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured foot, coach Nick Saban said on Wednesday.
Earle sustained a Jones fracture in practice "a couple of days ago," according to Saban.
A Freshman All-SEC selection as a return specialist last season, Earle was expected to compete for a starting job this fall.
"He was doing a really, really good job, having a really good camp,'' Saban said. "Probably the best he's been on a consistent basis. Just saw a guy that grew up and was playing with a lot of confidence.
