Nick Saban gives injury update on JoJo Earle and Khyree Jackson

As Alabama prepares to begin conference play on Saturday against Vanderbilt, head coach Nick Saban took the podium to preview the game and gave a few injury updates regarding his roster.

Following last Saturday’s 63-7 win over ULM, defensive back Khyree Jackson was seen leaving the game in a walking boot and Saban explained what happened and his current status.

“He just sprained his ankle on a punt return,” Saban said. “I think the one that Brian Branch ran back for a touchdown. I don’t think it’s significant, but when you have an ankle injury, you’ve gotta go day-to-day, and we’ll see how he does this week.
