Now we need to see who the backup for Drew will be going forward.

Now we need to see who the backup for Drew will be going forward.

We already know that: Braswell and look for Turner to start to emerge.

Hate hearing that for the young man. I wish him the very best in his surgery and recovery!

I would bet Braswell will be put in a lot, and we will see him in some packages every game. Turner would move into a solid back up for Anderson is my thinking. But what do I know. lol, Still have Moody and Lawson.

Anybody know the timetable for his recovery? Any chance he might return for the playoffs?

I’m happy for Sanders to finally get his shot. Hate the circumstances…

The SEC Championship game is 13 weeks away. He has a good chance, barring any setbacks, to be able to play in the postseason. A big determinant will be his potential draft projection.

Knowing what type of fracture would help solve the mystery of how long, there are so many bones its really hard to give a timeline. The fact he is having surgery tells me his timeline is beyond the 6 to 8 weeks.

Lisfranc, same type of deal that Trey Sanders had his freshman year.

Allen likely done for good? Possible he comes back next season with that extra eligibility?

I doubt he will make a decision on that until closer to the end of the year. Most of the players, hurt or not, respect Saban's stance on that and wait. It may come down to how healthy will he be in winter/spring for pre-draft workouts. If he's not 100%, coming back would make a lot of sense.
