Well that's concerning. So headed into this game, we are probably without Keenan, Roberts and Jam. Three experienced leaders on the team. My understanding is that scrimmages and practices have been pretty intense with the hitting and tackling. I hope that doesn't come back to bite us.

Concerning indeed. Let's hope these injuries don't become a season long trend.

First game without 3 starters will certainly test our depth early in the season.
RTR!

I know its not the news we want to hear, but I am excited for the back ups to get going. this is a golden opportunity for them to show what they are made of!

Tightrope surgery on his ankle today and will miss several games.
With 3 starters out and bad weather, this game may be closer than I want it to be. Still think we win though. It just may be sloppy.

Tua played 20 days after having this done.

Dang out the gate getting the tightrope

He won't be able to play anywhere near 100% all season. I can't imagine he'd try to go out there before midseason, if at all.

Tua wasn't having to try to push 300lb guys around.

Brock Bowers came back for UGA too soon and you could tell he shouldn't have been out there.

I think the thought is that we are aiming to have Keenan back for snaps against Georgia... He has a full month to recover and hopefully all goes well.

 

[GP for Bama]

Get well soon Tim, Jam and Jaeden!

I am now officially nervous for this first game.

Cam Robinson had it done in 2014 and was back in 2 weeks.

Everybody heals differently but I’m just trying to cut off the doom and gloom.

Our schedule isn’t brutal until the mid point so we have time to navigate this stuff right now and get other players some experience.

If an injury like this is going to happen it’s better that it’s now rather than early Oct. or Nov.

 

[colbysullivan]

I swear injuries affect us more than most other teams. Our schedule is too difficult for this crap to keep happening.

 

[Cruiser]

Get well soon Tim, Jam and Jaeden!

I was already nervous; now very nervous. A test for CKD's preparation and leadership to start an important season.
RTR

Payne is back and ready.

Reynaud, Hill, Beaman, and Collins all had good camps.

Overton can also slide inside.

We've got bodies and they have played a bit... Not ideal, but we will need these guys down the road and this is valuable prep time for them. We need 5-6 guys for a 16 game season!

Besides the kicking part of our kicking game, interior D line was my biggest concern this year. I would say it is even now.

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

I think that we will be more than capable on the Oline on Saturday.
Keenan will be missed to be sure but the way camp seems to have been run this fall we got some good reps in with others so we'll be ok.

I agree that we’ve got some guys but ’m drawing a blank on Payne. I know we had one that portaled out.
