Alabama Crimson Tide star quarterback Bryce Young does not start against Texas A&M Aggies

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama star quarterback Bryce Young did not start Saturday night's game against Texas A&M as he continues to deal with shoulder soreness in his throwing arm.

Young dressed out and was one of three team captains for the game but did not attempt any passes during pregame warmups. Shortly before kickoff, Young was announced in the stadium as the starter.

Jalen Milroe, who scored two touchdowns in relief of Young during last weekend's win at Arkansas, got the start.

Young, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and a possible first-round pick in next year's NFL draft, was injured during the first half at Arkansas when he scrambled, was tackled and landed on his throwing shoulder.
