Jam Miller is out for the foreseeable future with an upper-body injury, according to Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer.

Head coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb had hinted throughout the offseason that Simpson was leading the race. Their belief was reinforced after the first preseason scrimmage, where Simpson’s control of the offense and poise under pressure stood out compared to the other candidates.

Alabama football's Kalen DeBoer was asked about the NCAA punishing Michigan for its sign-stealing scandal, after he faced the Wolverines with Washington in the 2023 national championship game.

The college football preseason AP Top 25 Poll just dropped, and it’s neither Arch Manning’s Texas Longhorns nor Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama Crimson Tide that made the biggest leap in the rankings.

Alabama star running back Jam Miller is expected to miss the team's season opener against FSU on Aug. 30 after suffering an upper body injury during a scrimmage Saturday. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer announced the injury Sunday and said Miller had a medical procedure.
