Alabama Football: Week 2 Fall Camp Stock Report

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Although the University of Alabama held its first scrimmage of the fall on Saturday, the big news from it didn’t emerge until Monday morning when senior quarterback Jake Coker wasn’t on the field for the first practice of a two-a-day.

Just after noon Alabama released the following statement from Nick Saban: “Jake Coker has a minor foot injury that we think will keep him out of practice for several days. Our physicians anticipate a full recovery.”

Although the prognosis was mostly good news in that Coker appears to have avoided a potentially serious setback, the timing couldn’t have been worse, as this is the most important week of training camp for the quarterback competition.
