Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle Returns From Broken Ankle to Play in National Championship

Alabama's offense has tallied over 50 points in three of its last four games, and the Crimson Tide will receive an additional boost to its receiving corps on Monday night.

Junior wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will return to the field on Monday as Alabama faces Ohio State in the national championship, suiting up for the first time since fracturing his ankle against Tennessee on Oct. 24. And while the Crimson Tide have been just fine in Waddle's absence, his return could make a key difference for quarterback Mac Jones. Waddle has tallied 25 catches for 557 yards in 2020, finding the end zone four times.
