As Auburn and Alabama prepare for their respective season openers, both teams are dealing with injury concerns. Auburn's head coach Hugh Freeze has labeled linebacker Austin Keys and cornerback Keionte Scott as 'probable' despite minor injuries, while kicker Alex McPherson is unlikely to play. On the Alabama side, head coach Kalen DeBoer expects starting right guard Jaeden Roberts and running back Jam Miller to be ready despite their recent injuries, but backup linebacker Jeremiah Alexander is not expected to play. Both teams are optimistic but cautious, ensuring not to rush players back prematurely. Auburn faces Alabama A&M, while Alabama goes up against Western Kentucky this Saturday.
