Alabama and Oklahoma will play on Friday night in the first game of the 2025-26 College Football Playoff, so the Tide and the Sooners' reports came out on Tuesday.

For Alabama, here are the players listed as "OUT":

DB Kam Howard
LB Jah-Marien Latham
DB Dre Kirkpatrick Jr.
DL LT Overton
RB Kevin Riley
DL Jeremiah Beaman

Beaman, Riley, Latham, and Howard all suffered injuries during the season that ruled them out for the rest of the season. Kirkpatrick is serving a suspension after getting arrested during Alabama's second bye week before the matchup with LSU. LT Overton was called "doubtful" by head coach Kalen DeBoer during DeBoer's Monday press conference. Overton was ruled out of Alabama's 28-7 loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship with what DeBoer called a "medical issue."

Here are the players Alabama listed as "QUESTIONABLE":

TE Josh Cuevas
TE Danny Lewis Jr.

Cuevas has missed Alabama's last three games against Eastern Illinois, Auburn, and Georgia with a lower-body injury he suffered in practice before Alabama's game against Eastern Illinois. DeBoer said Cuevas was "making progress out there, doing some work," on Monday.

Alabama and Oklahoma will face off in the first round of the College Football Playoffs on Friday, December 19, at 7:00 p.m. in Norman, Oklahoma.
