Nick Saban provides injury updates on Jordan Battle, JoJo Earle and Byron Young ahead of Arkansas matchup

Ahead of its matchup against Arkansas on Saturday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban addressed a few injury updates during his press conference on Wednesday.

During last week’s game against Vanderbilt, the Crimson Tide saw two key defenders leave the game with injuries. Defensive lineman Byron Young suffered a sprained ankle and had to be carted to the locker room and defensive back Jordan Battle sustained a lower-body injury near the end of the game.

Saban reported that both players are still to be considered day-to-day.

“Both guys practiced some today,” Saban said. “Hopefully, they’ll both be ready for the game, but it’s day-to-day.
