Alabama faces injuries ahead of South Carolina game

Alabama's football team announced changes to its lineup ahead of the September 24 game against South Carolina. Running back AK Dear and wide receiver Noah Rogers are set to return after missing prior games, boosting the offensive unit. However, the team will be without key defenders Justin Hill and Desmond Umeozulu, who sustained injuries during the recent game against Florida State and will miss multiple weeks. Hill is sidelined with a lower-extremity injury, while Umeozulu has turf toe with an uncertain recovery timeline. This injury situation shifts roles among the defensive players as coaches make adjustments for the upcoming matchup.
