Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer shared injury updates on both Russaw and Alabama linebacker Jah-Marien Latham, who suffered a neck injury during practice leading up to the Georgia game.

"Qua, he has a broken foot and surgery and everything," DeBoer said on Monday. "And so he won't be out for the season, but it'll be an extended amount of time here.

And then Jah-Marien, just with everything, he'll be out for the season, so it's unfortunate. Just love that, love both of those guys, but, Zebo, as we refer to him, Jah-Marien's just, he can have a healthy recovery. He'll recover fully, and so that's the main thing, the big picture of everything, but unfortunately, we won't have him back this season."

Alabama's depth at Wolf linebacker suddenly becomes very thin, with Yhonzae Pierre checking in for Alabama against Georgia in Russaw's place, and true freshman Justin Hill seeing a significant increase in snaps in Athens.
