Alabama Football Injury Report ahead of SEC Championship Game 2023

The Alabama Crimson Tide have three players on their injury report ahead of the SEC Championship Game: running back Jase McClellan, defensive back Jaylen Key and wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks.

Jase McClellan’s injury update

Alabama’s starting running back Jase McClellan is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game with a foot injury.

According to Nick Saban, McClellan hasn’t been able to do much in practice, which has put his status for the SEC Championship in doubt.

“He’s not been able to do a lot. We’ll see how he does today. … We’d have to say he’s probably questionable for the game at this point but it’s probably too early to tell.”

McClellan leads Alabama in rushing yards this season with 803 along with six touchdowns on the ground. Should he not play in the SEC Championship, the Crimson Tide will rely on Jam Miller, Justice Haynes and Richard Young.

Jaylen Key’s injury update

Alabama Crimson Tide defensive back Jaylen Key is questionable with a thigh injury.

Key returned to the lineup last week against Auburn after sitting out the previous two games due to a quad injury. He had been starting at safety all season for the Crimson Tide and has recorded 53 tackles and one interception this season.
