Tuscaloosa, Ala. – The Alabama Crimson Tide announced that three key players cleared their injury reports ahead of Saturday’s showdown with the 14th‑ranked LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge. Wide receiver Ryan Coleman‑Williams, defensive lineman Terrance Green and center Racin Delgatty are all listed as cleared to play, according to the university’s NIL collective, Yea Alabama.
Injury updates and recent performance
All three missed action after sustaining injuries in Alabama’s 20‑17 loss to Georgia on Oct. 10. Their absences were felt in the subsequent 26‑10 defeat at Tennessee and the 31‑20 victory over Texas A&M. Coleman‑Williams, who entered the Georgia game as Alabama’s leading receiver with 23 catches for 415 yards and four touchdowns, remains within 73 yards of the season’s receiving lead and still tops the team in touchdown receptions.
Delgatty has been the Tide’s starting center whenever healthy. Alabama’s ground game averaged 182.1 rushing yards per game with him in the lineup, but dropped to just 61 yards in the two contests he missed. Green, a transfer from Oregon, anchored the defensive front in the first half against Georgia, helping hold the Bulldogs to 49 rushing yards. When he was forced out for the second half, Georgia surged to 157 ground yards, a pattern repeated against Tennessee, which posted 150 rushing yards without Green.
Game‑time decisions and other roster notes
Alongside the three cleared starters, the availability report listed running backs A.K. Dear and E.J. Crowell, offensive lineman William Sanders and cornerback Zabien Brown as questionable. According to Pete Nakos and On3, left guard William Sanders is a game‑time decision for Saturday.
Alabama will travel to Baton Rouge for a 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff on ABC. The matchup pits the No. 5 Crimson Tide against the No. 14 LSU Tigers, a contest that could influence the SEC race as the regular season draws to a close.
