Alabama will be looking for all the help it can get in the secondary this fall, and one of the players the Crimson Tide were hoping could help won't be able to.
Junior college signee DeQuan Menzie ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing pickup basketball earlier this week and expects to redshirt during the 2010 season. He underwent surgery Thursday, and his recovery could take up to six months.
Having lost so many players in the secondary, Alabama signed Menzie with the thought he would be able to come in and play right away.
But with Menzie sidelined and junior safety Robby Green's eligibility for the upcoming season in question, Alabama's secondary for the 2010 season will easily be the most unproven unit on the team.
