Alabama fans are feeling better after hearing good news on Will Anderson Jr.
The sophomore outside linebacker suffered an injury against Mercer, but Nick Saban told reporters that it is not significant.

Anderson is day-to-day; however, the team is ‘encouraged’ to have him for the Florida game.
The Crimson Tide will continue monitoring him this week in practice. Coach Saban also provided updates on two starting cornerbacks that did not play versus the Bears. Josh Jobe and Jalyn Armour-Davis had bumps and bruises at practice, so Marcus Banks and Kool-Aid McKinstry played last week. According to Saban, Jobe and Armour-Davis will practice all week.
The team will chart their progress as they want to be on the field against the Gators. Both players performed well in the Crimson Tide’s season opener versus Miami. After a tight contest in the 2020 Southeastern Conference title game, Saturday’s game will be entertaining. CBS will have the call from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium “The Swamp” at 2:30 p.m. CT.
