Alabama Captain Tim Keenan III Has Tightrope Surgery, Will Miss Multiple Games

Jeremiah Beaman is expected to anchor the interior against Florida State in Keenan’s absence.

Overview

  • Keenan suffered a high ankle injury in practice and underwent a tightrope procedure on Wednesday, with the team expecting him to return later this season.
  • Kalen DeBoer said Keenan will "probably not" be a full go for Saturday, and subsequent reports say he will miss the Florida State opener.
  • Redshirt freshman Jeremiah Beaman is the next man up at nose tackle, with James Smith and Edric Hill set to rotate and true freshman London Simmons also in consideration.
  • Starting running back Jam Miller is out after a dislocated collarbone, with a late‑September return targeted around the Georgia game.
  • Offensive guard Jaeden Roberts remains in concussion protocol and is questionable, tightening Alabama’s depth for a road opener against a dual‑threat FSU quarterback.
