If your Saturday revolves around the Tide, the injury news is good. Receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, defensive lineman Terrance Green and center Racin Delgatty were cleared to return against LSU, according to , the team's NIL collective. All three were hurt in the 20-17 loss to Georgia on Oct. 10 and missed the loss to Tennessee and the win over Texas A&M.

Here's why it matters up front. The Tide averaged 182.1 rushing yards in the six games Delgatty played and 61 in the two he missed. Georgia ran for 49 yards in the first half with Green on the field and 157 in the second half after he was out.
