According to Tony Tsoukalas of Tide Illustrated, the Crimson Tide's starting left tackle will not play in the Reliaquest Bowl and will undergo shoulder surgery to repair an issue.

Proctor, a 6-foot-7, 369-pound left tackle, started 10 out of 12 available games for Alabama in 2024. He missed the first two games of the season due to a shoulder injury he suffered in pregame warmups ahead of Alabama's victory over Western Kentucky.

He earned second-team All-SEC honors from the league coaches in 2024. According to Pro Football Focus, Proctor allowed just two sacks across 304 pass-blocking snaps.

Tsoukalas reports with Proctor out, Alabama will likely replace him with redshirt freshman Wilkin Formby, who has appeared in eight games for Alabama in 2024 on a rotating basis with Elijah Pritchett at right tackle. Formby has started two games in the 2024 season for Alabama.

Alabama (9-3) will kick off against Michigan (7-5) at 11:00 a.m. CT on December 31 in the Reliaquest Bowl. The game will be televised on ESPN.
