SAD NEWS: Two Bama Stars Confirmed Out Due to Injury Ahead of Tennessee vs Alabama Showdown
Two Alabama stars, Malachi Moore and CJ Dippre, are confirmed out due to injury ahead of the highly anticipated Tennessee vs Alabama showdown. Moore, a veteran safety, is still nursing an ankle injury sustained in Alabama’s 26-20 win over Texas A&M, while Dippre, a tight end, got dinged in the previous weekend’s game against Arkansas ¹.
According to coach Nick Saban, both players practiced but their status remains uncertain. “If they continue to progress like they have, they have a good chance to play. But nobody can predict that right now,” Saban said ¹.
Meanwhile, linebacker Trezmen Marshall, who was banged up against Arkansas, feels great and wants to be ready for the Volunteers. However, Saban previously mentioned that Marshall suffered a pulled muscle, while Dippre dealt with bruised ribs ¹.
In other injury news, Kamal Hadden, Tennessee’s top-man cover corner, exited the Alabama game with a shoulder injury ². On the bright side, Omarr Norman-Lott, Daevin Hobbs, Gerald Mincey, Andrej Karic, and Jeremiah Crawford are all expected to be available for Tennessee ³.
