The Tide will be down a couple of contributors on offense, with starting tight end Josh Cuevas listed as 'out' for the Tide's Iron Bowl matchup. Cuevas, a redshirt senior from Los Angeles, California, has caught 30 passes for 341 yards and four touchdowns. Cuevas suffered a practice injury during Alabama's week of preparation for the matchup against Eastern Illinois, a game Alabama won 56-0.

In addition to Cuevas, Alabama ruled out running back Kevin Riley, who has 222 yards and two touchdowns on the season, taking over as the leader in the running back room after Jam Miller was injured to start the season. Riley is the second-leading rusher for Alabama so far this season.

In addition to Cuevas and Riley, Alabama has ruled out:

DB Kam Howard
LB Jah-Marien Latham (Out since Georgia)
DB Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. (Out since LSU)
LB Abduall Sanders Jr. (Out since Oklahoma)
TE Danny Lewis Jr. (Dealing with injuries all season)
DL Jeremiah Beaman (Out since ULM)

Alabama listed senior wide receiver Germie Bernard as probable after he missed Alabama's 56-0 win over Eastern Illinois. Bernard has caught 48 passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns. Alabama also listed starting center Parker Brailsford and reserve linebacker QB Reese as 'probable.'
