Jobe, a preseason second-team All-American, has played in 12 of the Crimson Tide’s 13 games and has 38 tackles and two interceptions. Alabama coach Nick Saban revealed after the Tide’s win over LSU November 6 that Jobe had been working through a turf toe injury.

With Jobe sidelined, Alabama’s two starting cornerbacks will likely be redshirt junior Jalyn Armour-Davis and five-star freshman Kool-Aid McKinstry. Armour-Davis, who is tied for the team-lead with three interceptions, has missed the Tide’s last two games with a hip injury.
