In a shocking turn of events during Saturday’s game against the LSU Tigers, Alabama’s star quarterback, Jalen Milroe, suffered a severe ankle injury that has left fans and teammates reeling. The incident occurred late in the second quarter when Milroe was tackled hard after a scramble, resulting in him being carted off the field.
The Crimson Tide were leading at the time, but the atmosphere quickly shifted from excitement to concern as medical staff attended to Milroe. Fans in the stands held their breath as they witnessed the beloved quarterback being helped off the field, clearly in pain. This injury raises significant concerns about Alabama’s season, especially with key games approaching.
Alabama coach Nick Saban addressed the media after the game, expressing his deep concern for Milroe. “Jalen is not just a tremendous player, but also a leader in our locker room.
