Today's Signal

Ryan Coleman-Williams is unlikely to play Saturday at No. 14 Tennessee. Kalen DeBoer said Coleman-Williams has a pretty good chance to miss the game and would probably be week-to-week after that.

If Coleman-Williams cannot play, Alabama would lose a receiver with 23 catches, 415 yards and four touchdowns from Keelon Russell’s first response to a loss. Alabama did spread catches across nine players against Georgia, but Coleman-Williams still led the team with 39 yards.

The question in Knoxville is not whether Alabama has bodies; it is whether one of those options can become Russell’s trusted answer when the throw has to win the down.
