Wednesday injury report ahead of OU: Amaris Williams, Jay Crawford doubtful

The SEC released the initial injury report for this weekend’s slate.

Nine Auburn players are on the Wednesday report, with only running back Durell Robinson listed as out. However, the Tigers will likely be without some of its top defensive players.

Key defensive players doubtful

Sophomore defensive end Amaris Williams is listed as doubtful for this weekend, as is cornerback Jalyn Crawford. Williams separated his shoulder against the Jaguars, while Crawford suffered some knee-to-knee contact that forced him out of the game.

Should Williams not go Saturday, Freeze expects true freshman Jared Smith to be the next man up.

Singleton Jr. is trending to play, he told reporters Tuesday.

Auburn wide receiver Malcolm Simmons, who only recorded one snap against South Alabama, is also listed as probable for this weekend.
