We’re going to address that, even the lower extremity there this week. I think it’ll probably go week to week after that. Already wearing a brace on his right knee, he limped off the field just before halftime after landing awkwardly on his opposite leg on a deep pass from quarterback Keelon Russell.
Coleman-Williams left Alabama’s 20-17 loss to then-No. 2 Georgia twice Saturday night.

Coleman-Williams returned for the second half but left the game for good early in the fourth quarter after Georgia safety KJ Bolden delivered a blow to his head. Officials did not call a targeting penalty despite protests from DeBoer and the home crowd.
The team captain is dealing with multiple injuries, including a concussion.
Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said Monday that Coleman-Williams is doubtful for the Southeastern Conference rivalry known as “The Third Saturday in October.
