Report: 2 Alabama LBs suffer season-ending injuries
JON COOPER | 5 MINUTES AGO

Alabama’s massive win over FSU Saturday night came at a price.

Two Alabama LBs suffered season-ending injuries against Florida State, according to AL.com. Outside LBs Christian Miller and Terrell Lewis are out for the year. Miller, the redshirt junior, suffered a torn biceps, while Lewis, a sophomore, tore a ligament in his elbow.

Lewis is expected to undergo surgery on Tuesday.

In addition to Miller’s and Lewis’ injuries, fellow LBs Rashaan Evans and Anfernee Jennings also went down with injuries. Evans has a groin injury, while Jennings suffered a sprained ankle, Nick Saban announced after the game.

While Alabama has some depth at the position, losing Miller and Lewis is tough to swallow.

Saturday Down South will update this breaking news story.

Fuuuuuuck.

Dylan Moses and Mack Wilson bout to get thrown into the fire. Maybe Ben Davis as well.

Next 2 games will be great to get their legs under them before SEC play

I would think we will have to move some backers around. If Evans was healthy it would make sense for him to line up a little more on the edge. All 4 LBs hurt can play the edge and that is some heavy attrition over there. I'm wondering out loud now about Ben Davis and Dylan Moses.

I had no clue of these in the stands. Even after seeing "hurt linebackers" in some comments I had no clue what it meant. This is a tough one as Lewis was going to seriously kick some tail this year. We need Evans back healthy, but I think we have some guys that can carry the load till the two coming back can recover. Mack Wilson, Dylan Moses, and Ben Davis better be ready to roll. Another instance where anything can hapoen and even with deep depth you better be ready to go. Hoping for a quick recovery for everyone, and Francois at Florida State as well.

Crap!! I had such high hopes for Miller and Lewis. I do, however, think Mack Wilson is Reuben Foster II. Let's hope he has a quick learning curve.

Chris Allen gonna play. Wow. This is cray cray.

These injuries will only possibly negatively impact us v LSU, Auburn, and CFP opponent. The rest of our schedule sucks so bad it won't matter at all.
By the end of the year these newer guys won't be new and we will be fine.
However, linebackers have to stay healthy now or we will lose to somebody due to lack of depth. We really missed SDH and Jackson v Clemson

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Mack Wilson is ready, I'm not sure how many snaps he got last night, but when he made that pick i just thought "no way Foster catches that last year".

 

[Che Boludo]

Was the best, deepest group in the country. But still, losing 2 in first game sucks.

 

[Bamabww]

Bummer! Terrible news. Wish them the best during their recovery and rehab. Someone else will get a chance to shine now.

Totes Cray-Cray.

 

[Tidestalker]

Terrible news!!! Those are our 2 most physically talented dudes. Both looked good last night too...

Chris Allen, it is your time buddy. Hopefully Jennings can come back healthy, we will need him vs the run.

A sleeper here is Jamie Mosley... CJ's little brother, former walk on, usually taking reps with the firsst 3-4 guys. He's pretty skinny but if he can rush the passer we need him

I don't see Mack Wilson playing Sam/Jack because we need him at MLB. Rashaan already banged up as usually rotate 3 guys in a game.

Dylan Moses, Chris Allen, Mosley, Mekhi Brown, and Ben Davis. Need 2 dudes... C'mon fellas

Thoughts and prayers to Miller and Lewis on a speedy recovery! So many times, we forget that these guys put their bodies on the line for our entertainment.

And approx $100,000 in education, food, gear, babes.

But point taken. Tough break for those 2 guys

Well dang I just saw where the QB fro FSU is out for the season. I come back in here and find out Bama also lose two.

 

[JoshB]

That's actually pretty huge. Lewis was a MONSTER last night until the injury. Him and Miller being gone takes a shit load of pass rush production away. Evans is going to have to play a ton with his hand in the dirt this year.

Good call... IF he's even healthy?!

Evans on the edge, Mack Wilson & Keith Holcombe more MLB snaps. Both those guys could get it done... Might be a better bet than throwing some freshman out there who aren't ready.

Holcombe is probably licking his chops. In his limited time he's always in the right place

Didn't Saban say that he thought Evans would be okay? I wouldnt even mind if they let him rest next week just to be safe. I agree with inside. Just let Mack and Holcombe rotate in Evans' spot and let Evans and Jennings rush off the edge. Work in Moses in there some, too.

Brown, mcmillion, and Davis not even listed in the 3 deep. Those are three guys that are supposed to bridge gaps between the juniors and seniors and the freshmen. Yet no word.
