Alabama star linebacker Deontae Lawson is out for the remainder of the year with a significant lower leg injury, Tide coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed on Monday. He's Alabama's second-leading tackler and considered a top prospect at his position for the upcoming NFL draft.

Lawson suffered the injury against Oklahoma on Saturday. He was taken to the locker room and quickly ruled out of the game.

Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said, in his press conference Monday, that Lawson wouldn't play for the No. 13 Crimson Tide against Auburn this week. He declined further comment for coach Kalen DeBoer.
