Alabama will likely be without one of its top offensive weapons for a bit.
According to head coach Kalen DeBoer, Alabama star wideout Ryan Coleman-Williams is “doubtful” for Saturday’s game against Tennessee. He left Saturday’s game against Georgia with multiple injuries.

“Pretty good chance we wouldn’t have him here this weekend. Probably be week-to-week after that,” DeBoer said on Monday.
Coleman-Williams would be a big loss for Alabama’s offense if he’s out for multiple weeks. He’s been good this season, compiling 23 receptions for 415 yards and four touchdowns. His best individual season (so far) came in 2024, when he finished with 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns.
For his career, he has racked up 120 receptions for 1,969 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Who needs to step up for Coleman-Williams?

Coleman-Williams leads the Crimson Tide in receiving yards, so they’ll need even more from fellow wideouts Rico Scott and Lotzeir Brooks. They’ll also need tight ends Kaleb Edwards and Marshall Pritchett to be more involved in the receiving game.
The Crimson Tide are 5-1 after Saturday’s 20-17 loss to the Bulldogs, but will look to return to the win column against the Vols this Saturday. Kickoff will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
