Alabama Football issued its first availability report of the week on Wednesday evening.

Seven Crimson Tide players were featured on the initial report. Linebackers Jah-Marien Latham (neck), Qua Russaw (foot) and Cayden Jones (ankle) and defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman (knee) are all out. Latham and Beaman are both out for the remainder of the 2025 season, and Russaw and Jones recover from surgeries to repair their respective injuries.

“Qua … he’s made good progress and that continues to be the case,” said Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer earlier this week. “Probably don’t expect him to be ready to go this weekend, but he’s doing a lot more than he has. It’s very promising with the direction it’s been going.”

Wide receiver Ryan Williams (probable) and tight end Danny Lewis (questionable) were also on the initial availability report. Both players have shown up on the availability report multiple times this season, with Williams playing in seven games and Lewis seeing the field in three games. The positive outlook for Williams is that he’s listed as probable (75% of playing).

It’s not injury-related, but defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. is suspended after an arrest.

The No. 4-ranked Crimson Tide (7-1, 5-0 SEC) will welcome LSU (5-3, 2-3) on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.

SEC Availability Report Policies

Beginning with the 2024-25 athletics season, all Southeastern Conference schools will provide public reports on the availability of student-athletes to participate in each conference game in the sports of football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.

Prior to a Saturday football game, an institution must issue the Initial Report on Wednesday by 7 p.m. CT and update the Availability Report once per day on Thursday and Friday (after the conclusion of practice and before 7 p.m.). On game day, an institution must provide one Game Day Update no later than 90 minutes before game time.

Designated Participation Statuses 

If an institution has knowledge that a student-athlete may not be able to participate in the upcoming game for any reason (including, but not limited to, injury, illness, suspension, ineligibility, or personal matter), the institution must accurately designate the student-athlete’s participation status on the Initial Report as follows: 

– Out – Will not play / 0% chance to play

– Doubtful – Unlikely to play / 25% chance to play

– Questionable – Uncertain to play / 50% chance to play

– Probable – Probable to play / 75% chance to play
