Alabama tailback Jam Miller, the No. 8 Crimson Tide's top returning rusher, suffered an upper body injury in a scrimmage Saturday and is expected to miss the Aug. 30 season opener at Florida State, sources told ESPN.
Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said in a statement Sunday that Miller was hurt and had a medical procedure following the scrimmage at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
"Jam Miller suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's scrimmage and went in for a procedure on Saturday evening," DeBoer said. "Jam should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined.
