Alabama didn’t just lose in Week 1 to Florida State; the Crimson Tide also lost their best player when Ryan Williams went down with a concussion in the second half. The star sophomore wide receiver was unable to return as the Tide fell 31-17, but he could be back for Week 2 when Alabama hosts Louisiana Monroe at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.
Williams has been going through concussion protocol all week, and DeBoer updated the media that he’s been “coming along nicely” during his midweek conference call. Williams appears to be trending toward a return, but Kalen DeBoer could be careful with his return as Alabama is a 35.
