Injured Tide

Alabama Junior Linebacker, Dylan Moses reportedly suffered a torn ACL in practice Tuesday and is expected to miss the entire 2019 season.
In 15 games last season, Moses registered 86 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.
Nick Saban: "Certainly, this is a character check for our team, and we're going to do everything to support Dylan and the people that have the opportunity now to fill in for Dylan."
Alabama Starting Linebackers from last season, Christian Miller and Mack Wilson went on to the NFL. Moses was set to be the clear leader of the 2019 Alabama Linebacker squad.
Moses was listed as the Starting Middle Linebacker on the preseason depth chart ahead of freshman Shane Lee and sophomore Markail Benton.
While both Benton and Lee were highly touted coming out of high school; neither brings the type of experience to the table that Moses possesses.
Alabama is now in a difficult position in terms of replacing Moses so close to the start of the season.
In addition to Moses reportedly missing all of 2019, Senior Linebacker Joshua McMillon is expected to miss the entire season with a knee injury as well. Ale Kaho -- who briefly stepped away from the program in May -- could be the next in line to start. After Kaho, Saban & Defensive Coordinator Pete Golding would have to either move players to different positions or rely on one of several true freshmen to fill the void.
The McMillon injury came along with news that Trey Sanders, a five-star running back signee in the class of 2019, could reportedly miss the entire season with a foot injury suffered in practice this week. Saban confirmed Saturday that Sanders will have to undergo surgery as a result of the injury.
No doubt, the preseason has been brutal to the Crimson Tide.
