TUSCALOOSA — Alabama wide receiver JoJo Earle is expected to miss the first month of the season with a broken foot.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said Wednesday that Earle sustained a Jones fracture in practice “a couple of days ago”. Saban said recovery typically takes 6-8 weeks and that the sophomore receiver and return man could be back as early as the Arkansas game on Oct. 1.“He was doing a really, really good job, having a really good camp,” Saban said. “Probably the best he's been on a consistent basis. Just saw a guy that grew up and was playing with a lot of confidence.
Earle had 12 catches last season for 148 yards and averaged 5.9 yards on 15 punt returns. He was vying for a starting job with Alabama having to replace receivers Jameson Williams, John Metchie III and Slade Bolden.Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!
