Despite being named the starter prior to kickoff against Texas A&M, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is not expected to play in Saturday’s game in Tuscaloosa.
The No. 1 ranked Crimson Tide pulled a last-minute bait-and-switch as redshirt freshman Jalen Milroe stepped under center on the team’s first possession in place of Young, who was listed as a game-time decision because of a shoulder injury.
Young, the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner, was reportedly seen in uniform but did not throw during pregame warmups. Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger reported the expectation is that the junior will be healthy enough to play at Tennessee next Saturday, but that has not yet been determined.
