Alabama football is expected to be without Josh Ford at tight end for the rest of the season, according to multiple reports.

Alabama tight end Josh Ford is set to miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury he suffered Saturday against LSU, sources tell @CBSSports.

The 6-foot-6, 265-pounder had been a key piece of the Crimson Tide offense and had a touchdown catch vs. LSU before suffering the injury.

Ford went down with an injury against LSU, and he did not return to the game after he went down.

The tight end has been a critical piece of Alabama’s blocking at the tight end position, and his role in the passing game had continued to increase. He has caught five receptions for 41 yards and two touchdowns this season.
