Multiple key Alabama football players are slated not to dress out against Eastern Illinois.
Germie Bernard, Parker Brailsford and Josh Cuevas are expected to miss the Crimson Tide’s matchup against Eastern Illinois. Neither participated in warm-ups.
Brailsford, who starts at center for the Tide, remains in a boot.
“He’s a little bit up in the air with where he’s at for this week, just from Saturday,” DeBoer said earlier in the week.
Joseph Ionata is expected to start with Brailsford slated to be out. Rico Scott could get more playing time with Bernard out and Brody Dalton could play more with Josh Cuevas out.
