I'm reading he tore a pectoral muscle which is a pretty significant injury. If he's out for any length of time it is going to leave Bama very thin at RB.

Partial torn pec muscle. Some pretty solid posters have come out today saying he will be out 6-8 weeks. Not quite as bad as the first reports which were a complete tear and out for the year.

That leaves Trent Richardson, Jalston Folwer, and Blake Sims as our RBs to start the year. Blake is more of a Wildcat option and actually came in as a QB. Fowler is HUGE rb, more of a bruiser than anything else. We are really thin at RB. I believe this lastest development will end any chance TR returns kicks this year.
Brent Calloway would be our other option but, he has yet to make it on campus....class issue with the clearing house.

Hopefully TR doesn't get dinged up early on. That could be scary.

You could borrow a back from UGA.

A mod posted that the injury will not require surgery and is not considered serious. Might not even miss a game. That is really good news for us. Kinda shocking to almost go from loaded at RB to dangerously thin in a few short weeks.

Didn't you guys cut two RB's this year? One transferred to Auburn and one transferred to North Alabama?

One left for his SR year to have a chance at playing time and the other left due to being at a better fit in the spread.
