Hitting Twitter now from multiple outlets:

UA confirms Dee Hart and DeAndrew White out for the season with knee injuries.

Dangit. Those are costly losses...

 

[TideMom2Boys]

This is so sad for these young players. Didn't Dee have problems before as well?


Also, who will be returning punts now? Will Jones fill that role as well?

Dangit. Those are costly losses...

Especially Hart in the running game.

 

[Jessica4Bama]

Yeah. I thought Dee Hart had surgery on that knee as well. Anyway it sucks for both of them.

 

[100%Crimson]

Really sad to hear this. They were play makers. Hope the best for their recovery.

 

[mikes12]

Get well soon, guys. Our prayers wre with you.

 

[rizolltizide]

Not good.

I assume Drake will now be getting a lot more touches. No way we can finish the year successfully with only two running backs.
I cannot believe the amount of major injuries we've had in such a short period of time.

Dee was out last year with a knee and now he is out again. Sad. DeAndrew cracks the starting line up and now is gone for the season. That could depress a fella.

I was thinking the same thing. The injuries are a lot more this season.

I feel for both of him. I know how sick I feel about now. I can't imagine their thoughts. This is big time adversity.

I feel bad for both. Do I think it will hurt or season. No

 

[brutetough]

Feel bad for both of them. Hope they have a speedy and full recovery.

I guess Brent Calloway and Blake Sims will have to step up in a big way.

 

[KrimsonNinja]

Dee Hart injured again? I don't believe in bad luck, but dang.

 

[Tiderollin32]

This truly is a loss but at the same time it is also why we constantly have to have depth. We have guys like Brent Calloway and Blake Sims who can play multiple postitions if they need to. As far the WR position we still have plenty of depth. The ACL bug has been biting us hard this year though.

 

[DocCrimson]

That's awful news on both counts. My guess from watching Hart with the trainer was ACL tear, although MCL sprain looked likely from mechanism of injury. My thoughts and prayers are with both.

I agree, we have the depth to overcome this. And luckily we have another week to fit the players in whatever roles we need them to be.

Drake is going to get more touches..he is already averaging almost 10 yards per carry.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Hate to hear it, because I had some hope for Hart. One of the pieces of luck you have to have for a championship run is injury luck. It looks like it's just going to be a terrible year for injuries...

Did Dee re-injure the same knee, or is this a whole new injury altogether?
