Injury Update
Alabama tight end Josh Ford broke his arm in the victory over Mississippi State. He had surgery the following day and is pushing to be available against No. 2 Georgia. Coach Kalen DeBoer noted that Ford is progressing and focused on meeting the physical requirements to return.
Offseason Addition Makes Immediate Impact
Ford was the first player to commit in Alabama's transfer class after leaving Oklahoma State. He quickly became a physical force in the run game, helping the team improve its ground attack from an average of 101.4 yards per game last season to 186.4 yards per game through five contests this year.
Receiving Contributions and Depth Options
Ford has recorded one touchdown reception, highlighted by a one-handed catch against South Carolina. If he cannot play against Georgia, Alabama can turn to Jay Lindsey for blocking support or Marshall Pritchett for receiving production.
