🏈 DB Ronald Williams out with broken arm.

Happened mid-week (at least that's when the story started to circulate.) It was "confirmed" today by an article on BamaCentral.

Damn!

Very unfortunate for him...

From a positive perspective, a year to "integrate" may end up being a huge help. It sounded like he may have been out of the initial rotation... With Surtain and potentially Jobe leaving next year, an extra year could be a good thing.

Good news for him is this year was a free year anyway. He can spend the year learning and not have to use the redshirt at all.

I doubt he's out for the season. I don't know how bad the break is/was and on that note there's no way to guess. He's had surgery, from what I understand, giving me reason to suspect we could see him back by week six (off week LSU is game seven.

He's worked with the two's quite a bit since he's been on campus. He'd certainly have seen quite a bit of playing time.

2 deep is really important...especially this year....when C-19 can bethe X factor

With a broken arm it seems like he would still be able to most non contact drills so he can stay in shape and continue to learn.

In a way, this is a good break for him. He will continue to practice, just won't able to do physical stuff. I still think he will be back in less than 4 weeks. We've seen player wearing casts and still play.

We still don't know which bone was broken. Or, when the surgery took place. I hope you're right in it's only a month.

But ... @mando ....ur right....with the miracles-we have seen from Bamas medical staff...anything is possible

Drake came back pretty quick from his a few years back. And came back just in the nick of time!

The thing with Kenyan was which bone was broken. It was the smaller of the two allowing the bigger bone to maintain the structure of the arm itself. The smaller bone heals more quickly (of course the screws during surgery certainly helped.)
