TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —University of Alabama sophomore left tackle Cam Robinson had experienced it before, but not quite to this extent.
On Saturday afternoon, he went down with an injury during the Crimson Tide’s third practice of training camp, when players were donning shells for the first time this fall. After getting rolled from behind in a pile, he was carted off the practice field, mostly as a precaution.
It put the Alabama fanbase on high alert. With no media access other than a short viewing period earlier during individual drills, the rumors started flying through social media and on message boards.
