Nov 30, 2024; Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA; Alabama Crimson Tide running back Jam Miller (26) is tackled by Auburn Tigers buck Jalen McLeod (35) during the second half at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama won 28-14. Mandatory Credit: Gary Cosby Jr.-Imagn Images Alabama running back Jam Miller is expected to return from a dislocated collarbone in time for the Sept. 27 SEC showdown at Georgia.
Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer provided the update on Friday for Miller, who was injured during a scrimmage last Saturday.
Miller will sit out No. 8 Alabama’s season opener at Florida State on Aug. 30 and is doubtful for home dates with Louisiana-Monroe (Sept. 6) and Wisconsin (Sept. 13). The Tide will have a bye week before visiting the No. 5 Bulldogs for their SEC opener.
“He’s a leader for us, a quiet leader, but somebody the players all respect,” DeBoer said of Miller, per ESPN. “Having that bye week, I feel good that he will be back out there. He does so many things for us at that position.”
A 5-foot-10, 221-pound senior, Miller led Alabama running backs with 668 rushing yards last season. He added 16 catches for 155 yards and finished with eight touchdowns (seven rushing, one receiving).
The running back rotation in Miller’s absence will feature Daniel Hill and Richard Young with Dre Washington as a change of pace. Redshirt freshman Kevin Riley is also in the mix.
“It’s going to be a little bit by committee until Jam gets back, and there’s going to be a proving ground — who can take care of the ball, who can advance the ball, take on the game plan and help us protect?” offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said, per ESPN. “I’m excited to see who’s going to come out here these next few days and take over.”

2025 NFL Preview: Philadelphia Eagles
Head Coach: Nick Sirianni (fifth season) PFF projected win total: 11.1 2024 Record: 14-3 (first in NFC East, won Super Bowl) Biggest strength: Defense In Vic Fangio’s first year as defensive coordinator, the Eagles fielded the highest-graded defense in the NFL — and it wasn’t particularly close. Philadelphia ranked first or second in team run-defense grade, pass-rush grade, and coverage grade. The unit remains largely intact, returning eight qualified players who earned a 70.0-plus PFF grade last season, including linebacker Zack Baun and cornerback Cooper DeJean, who led the NFL at their respective positions. Biggest weakness: Passing Game Consistency The Eagles had few flaws during their championship run, but passing-game consistency wasn’t always a strength. Much of that centered around Jalen Hurts, who played lights-out in the final two postseason games but finished the regular season ranked just 23rd in […]

Paige Bueckers could make history due to the Dallas Wings’ poor record
The Dallas Wings did not get off to the best start this season. Having signed Paige Bueckers in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the UConn point guard has contributed to the team and demonstrated her talent, becoming one of the favorites for Rookie of the Year. However, her personal results have not translated into wins for the Wings, and she could go down in history for this reason. Paige Bueckers brushed off by her own former teammateThe record Bueckers doesn't want to holdIn her first year in the league, Paige was one of only ten rookies to start in the All-Star Game. In addition, scoring 44 points in a game against the Los Angeles Sparks (the most ever scored by a rookie) last week. As if that weren't enough, she received the WNBA Rookie of the Month award twice and is […]
