Overview
- Beaman suffered a knee injury during Alabama's fall camp Sunday that team staff later identified as significant.
- Coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed the player was hurt after Monday practice and said the staff was awaiting further testing.
- On Wednesday Alabama’s NIL entity announced tests showed a torn left ACL and that Beaman will miss the 2026 season.
- Local outlets reported Beaman underwent surgery at UAB St. Vincent’s performed by Dr. Lyle Cain, but those surgical details have not been confirmed by the university.
- The loss removes a projected interior lineman days before the season and pushes Alabama to increase snaps for transfers like Kedrick Bingley‑Jones and Terrance Green plus returners such as London Simmons, Edric Hill, Isaia Faga and Steve Bolo Mboumoua while Beaman begins another lengthy rehab.
