Alabama may have one of its electric wide receivers for Saturday’s game against Arkansas.
JoJo Earle, a sophomore, dressed out last week for the Vanderbilt game and participated in warmups. He did not play in the matchup, but he looked smooth. The native Texan returned to practice this week and caught passes during Tuesday’s recap video from the University of Alabama. Earle suffered a foot fracture on August 10 and was scheduled to miss six to eight weeks.

We are in the seventh week since the injury, so Earle is on track for his return. According to credible sources, Touchdown Alabama Magazine has learned he is expected to play versus the Razorbacks. Ja’Corey Brooks stepped up against Vanderbilt, Traeshon Holden has been consistent, and Jermaine Burton has had good moments, but getting Earle back is huge.
