Alabama coach Nick Saban on Monday shared an update on the quarterback Bryce Young’s shoulder injury he suffered in the win over Arkansas and previewed Saturday’s SEC showdown against Texas A&M. Watch the video above to see Saban’s remarks on Young’s injury and other injured Tide players.
“He’s got a little bit of a shoulder injury. It’s not a long-term injury, he’s going to be day-to-day,” Saban said. “He’s gonna be day-to-day when he can get back to throwing, and we’ll just have to evaluate it day to day. So I can’t tell you if that’s going to be today, tomorrow, or the next day.”
Saban became slightly irritated when asked about potential changes to the Alabama offensive playbook due to Young’s injury.
“Again, I don’t talk to Jimbo on a regular basis, but I’ll call him and tell him right after the conference if you want me to,” Saban said sarcastically. “Do you guys think I’m gonna tell you what we’re going to do with our offense and our team? You might as well make it up.”

Saban and Alabama are gearing up for a visit from Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M, a game that’s been highly anticipated since the Tide’s upset loss in College Station last season and the offseason drama between the coaches. Alabama is a 24-point favorite to beat the Aggies.
Kickoff at Bryant-Denny Stadium is set for 7 p.m. Saturday. CBS will televise the primetime matchup.
Alabama regained its preseason No. 1 ranking in the AP Top 25 college football poll this week after Georgia struggled to beat Missouri last week.
