Alabama RB goes down with injury in first scrimmage, freshman RB held out

Alabama football’s running back AK Dear went down with an injury in the Tide’s first scrimmage of fall camp, according to Kalen DeBoer.

EJ Crowell, a freshman running back, was held out of the scrimmage, but he is not expected to miss any future games.

“EJ did not scrimmage today,” DeBoer said. “He’ll be out for a few practices here. He won’t miss any games down the road. So, he did not practice today. AK did suffer an injury. He actually was having a nice scrimmage, scored a touchdown. We’ll evaluate him and figure out what, you know, the severity of that. So, that was unfortunate because he was having a real nice scrimmage there with the touches he got. That’s kind of the status on those two.”

Dear is a sophomore running back for the Crimson Tide. He ran for 140 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman for Alabama last season.

Crowell signed with Alabama as a five-star recruit.
