Alabama TE ‘broke his arm’ against Mississippi State, status for Georgia uncertain

Alabama football’s head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an update on Josh Ford on Wednesday.

DeBoer said the tight end’s status is unclear ahead of the Crimson Tide take on Georgia on Saturday.

“Josh, he actually broke his arm in the game on Saturday,” DeBoer said. “Had surgery on Sunday and is determined to get on the football field. Actually, progressing along fairly well right now. We’ll kind of see how the week continues for him, and I know where his mindset’s at. He got to make sure he meets the levels that we need him to meet as far as being physically ready. So he’s doing a great job. It’s going well, so, you know, we’re optimistic.”

Ford has been a valuable and physical run blocker for the Crimson Tide this season. He has also pulled in one reception for a touchdown.
