Ford's Season-Ending Injury
Alabama starting tight end Josh Ford will miss the rest of the season with a lower-body injury. The former Oklahoma State transfer had already been playing through a broken arm for the past month before getting hurt in the fourth quarter of the 31-13 win at LSU.
Physical Presence in Offense
Ford caught his second touchdown of the year in that contest and finishes with five catches for 41 yards and two scores. He had broken his arm during the win at Mississippi State on Oct. 3, underwent surgery the next day to insert a titanium rod, and returned the following weekend against Georgia.
Adjustments Moving Forward
The tight end group now includes starter Kaleb Edwards along with Marshall Pritchett, Danny Lewis Jr. and Jay Lindsey. More responsibility will shift to Edwards while Lewis and Lindsey are expected to see expanded roles as in-line blockers. Alabama visits Vanderbilt on Saturday before closing the regular season against Chattanooga and Auburn.
