Overview

  • Miller said he dislocated his collarbone during Saturday’s scrimmage, appeared Tuesday in a sling, and reported it is back in place and feeling better.
  • Head coach Kalen DeBoer said Miller underwent an upper‑body procedure and should recover fully, with no timetable announced for his return.
  • Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is evaluating who can handle the game plan and protection duties with 11 days until the Aug. 30 trip to Florida State.
  • Staff assessments highlighted Daniel Hill’s stability and physicality in protection, Dre Washington’s vision and improving protection, Kevin Riley’s physical running, and Richard Young’s recent scrimmage spark.
  • Left tackle Kadyn Proctor expressed confidence in the depth as Alabama plans short‑term carries without its returning leading rusher.
