On Monday, Kalen DeBoer updated the statuses of all three of them, with Ryan Coleman-Williams likely to miss some time dealing with a couple of injuries. Here is what head coach Kalen DeBoer said about the three of them during his Monday media availability.

WR Ryan Coleman-Williams

"Ryan has a couple of things going on. Worked through an injury to his knee that's been kind of going on, and so we'll deal with that," DeBoer said. "Got the head issue as well. So, we’re gonna address that, even the lower-extremity there this week. Pretty good chance we wouldn’t have him here this weekend. I think he would be probably week-to-week after that."

C Racin Delgatty

"With Racin [Delgatty], just with his lower-leg injury, just continue to evaluate him and kind of see where he’s at in the days ahead. Obviously, he’ll be pretty sore, kind of working through things and limited, for sure, early in the week. Certainly get some reps with other guys, in particular, probably Mal Waldrep, Casey Poe, guys like that."

DL Terrance Green

"And then Terrance [Green], just keep evaluating him. This is an injury that’s been going on for a couple weeks now. Just re-aggravated it, and it’s been limiting him in practice. And trying to get him to the game, he, I thought, made a great effort in trying to do that. Just, again, re-aggravated it."

DeBoer also circled back on Ryan Coleman-Williams, Josh Ford, and the physicality and toughness that players like those two have shown this season.

"But I think going back to Ryan, I'm just gonna say this about all these guys that I mentioned, just Josh Ford last week, I mean, these guys go through things throughout the week that you don't see," DeBoer said. "And Ryan, in particular, has been doing that and leading the charge, not just with what he does to try to be out there on the football field for practice, but the energy and just trying to be an uplifting and uniting factor for not just the offense, but our football team. So, I know he was out there battling again on Saturday, giving everything he got, and he had until the very end.”

Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb also said NC State transfer WR Noah Rogers is "pretty close" to 100% after his A-Day injury. Rogers played just one snap in the Tide's 20-17 loss to Georgia.

No. 6 Alabama will travel to Neyland Stadium to take on the 14th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday, October 17. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
