Alabama tight end Josh Ford is hoping to play against No. 2 Georgia despite breaking his arm just days earlier.
Ford sustained the injury during Alabama's win over Mississippi State last Saturday. He underwent surgery the following day, Sunday, to address the fracture.
Despite the short turnaround between the injury and the upcoming matchup, Ford has expressed hope that he will be able to take the field when Alabama faces Georgia.
Timeline
The injury occurred during an otherwise successful outing for Alabama, which defeated Mississippi State. Ford's surgery took place within roughly 24 hours of the injury, a timeline that underscores the urgency around his potential return.
No further details on Ford's expected role or any playing restrictions have been disclosed. His status for the Georgia game is expected to become clearer as the team approaches game day.
The outcome will be closely watched given Georgia's position as the No. 2 team in the country and the significance of the matchup for Alabama's season.
