The season-ending injury to Deontae Lawson had Alabama make adjustments at linebacker for the Iron Bowl.

Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide battle Auburn at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Former Alabama player sends message to Crimson Tide’s offense before Iron Bowl: “I better not see this unseasoned chicken offense”

Auburn looks to become bowl-eligible, while the Crimson Tide wants to pick up its ninth win of the season. Alabama has a slim chance of making the 12-team College Football Playoff if some chaos happens, but it must handle the Tigers first. 

Below are the depth chart changes for the Tide at linebacker.

-Justin Jefferson is the starter at “Stinger” and Justin Okoronkwo is the backup.
