Nick Saban doesn’t know yet how Alabama will replace Eddie Jackson

Eddie Jackson is not a player so easily replaced.

Two days after losing him for the season with a fractured leg, Alabama coach Nick Saban said Monday he doesn’t yet know how the Crimson Tide will replace the standout senior safety.

“I don’t know exactly how we’ll manage that,” Saban told reporters before speaking at the Monday Morning Quarterback Club at the Harbert Center in Birmingham, Alabama. “We want to talk to some of the players today.”

Jackson suffered the left leg injury after he was tackled hard on a 17-yard punt return early in the fourth quarter in No.
