Alabama lists Michael Carroll as doubtful for upcoming game against Kentucky
Summary

Alabama offensive lineman Michael Carroll is listed as doubtful for the team's upcoming game against Kentucky. Carroll, a key starter who transitioned from right tackle to right guard, played 76 snaps in Alabama's season-opening 48-10 victory over East Carolina without allowing a pressure. His potential absence forces the Crimson Tide to evaluate depth options at the right guard position as they prepare for their SEC conference debut. Ole Miss transfer Ethan Fields, who recorded seven snaps against East Carolina, is listed next on the depth chart. Other roster options for the interior offensive line include Nick Brooks, Mal Waldrep, William Sanders, and Kaden Strayhorn, though these players have been training at different positions throughout the week.
