REPORT: Alabama TE Injured in Practice

Tuscaloosa, Ala. - The Crimson Tide's tight end room was already thin heading into spring practice. With the departures of CJ Dippre and Robbie Outz to the NFL, Washington transfer Josh Cuevas and redshirt junior Danny Lewis Jr. were expected to be the next two up in line to start for Alabama.

That plan was derailed a bit, as Kalen DeBoer announced earlier in the spring that Lewis would miss spring practice due to an injury. Now, freshman tight end Marshall Pritchett has been added to the injury list, according to Bama247.

Alex Scarborough of 247 Sports reports that Pritchett will miss the remainder of spring practice - the next two weeks - with an injury suffered during practice. Scarborough's report indicates Pritchett will be healthy by fall camp.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound tight end was spotted in a knee brace in a recent video posted by Alabama's NIL collective, Yea Alabama, on Tuesday.

Expected starting tight end Josh Cuevas gave a preview of Pritchett recently, saying he was 'doing great' in practice.

"He's coming in trying to learn this offense quickly," Cuevas said. "And I know [ Bryan Ellis] is expecting a lot out of him. And, I mean, I think we all are. But we're kind of pushing him at his kind of pace, and seeing what he knows and kind of like not trying to overwhelm him a little bit. But we know what he can do, and we're trying to put him in the best position possible to succeed in this offense."
