Another noteworthy injury that occurred during Saturday night’s win inside Tiger Stadium for the Alabama Crimson Tide was to starting right guard Jaeden Roberts.

A prominent name among Alabama’s offensive line, Roberts has been one of the top right guards in the SEC so far this season, and is a key player when it comes to the Crimson Tide running the ball.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer also recently commented on the status of Roberts as well, doing so as part of his weekly Wednesday night talk show “Hey Coach,” saying:

“He could have come back, and we just didn’t want to push it,” DeBoer said. “He’s working through the week and doing everything he can to get on the football field Saturday. I think it’s promising that he’ll be available, ready to go in some capacity.”

Should the starting right guard potentially be unavailable Saturday against Mercer, then versatile offensive lineman Geno VanDeMark would likely be favored to start for Roberts.
