LSUDad Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Nick Saban confirms injury to Alabama LB Dylan Moses Andrew Olson | 14 minutes ago Wednesday morning opened with big news out of Tuscaloosa: Alabama LB Dylan Moses reportedly tore his ACL and will miss the 2019 season. ADVERTISEMENT Not long after the reports emerged, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban confirmed the news of a serious injury and serious absence during his appearance on the weekly SEC media teleconference. 00:07 “Dylan was injured yesterday at practice, had a knee injury. It requires surgery, he will be out for an indefinite period of time. Certainly, this will be a character check of our team and we will do everything we can to support Dylan and the people that will fill in for Dylan,” Saban said. ADVERTISEMENT The news broke shortly before the coaches’ media teleconference started. In 2018, Moses led the Alabama defense with 86 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, one pass break up and one forced fumble, a campaign which made him a finalist for last year’s Butkus Award. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana native represented Alabama at this year’s SEC Media Days and was expected to be among the Crimson Tide defense’s impact players again in 2019. Moses was named Second Team All-America by the Walter Camp Association and was honored as a Second Team All-SEC coaches selection last season.

Harris and Robinson are listed as the top two backs on Alabama’s depth chart released Monday. Harris, the former No. 1 recruit in the 2017 class, rushed for 783 yards and four touchdowns while leading the Crimson Tide with 6.69 yards per carry last season. Robinson served as Alabama’s fourth back last season, recording 272 yards and two touchdowns on 63 carries. Alabama was already dealing with the loss of freshman running back Trey Sanders, who is out indefinitely after breaking his foot during preseason camp. The Crimson Tide will now have to rely on redshirt freshman Jerome Ford and true freshman Keilan Robinson early during Saturday's game. Smith finished fifth on the team in receiving last year, tallying 693 yards and six touchdowns on 42 receptions. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound junior is listed as the starter at the X receiver position. Lewis missed all of last season with an ACL injury. The redshirt junior is listed as the starting Sam linebacker and is projected be one of Alabama’s top pass-rushers the season. Lewis’ last appearance for the Crimson Tide came inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium as he totaled a career-high seven tackles and a sack in his first career start while helping Alabama take down Georgia in the 2018 national championship game. Alabama will play Duke on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT inside Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
