Bryce Young is one of the best players in all of college football. The Alabama quarterback threw for over 4800 yards and 47 touchdowns last year en route to the Heisman trophy. He’s off to a great start this year, too, and has the Crimson Tide undefeated at 4-0 and ranked #2 in the country.
But, in the 2nd quarter of Alabama’s week five game at Arkansas, Young left with an apparent shoulder injury.

Anytime your quarterback goes to the locker room with a shoulder injury, that is not good. But, they seem to have avoided the worst.
Bryce Young is in pads and questionable to return
It seems like Alabama has avoided the absolute worst-case scenario with their star quarterback. A torn rotator cuff or separated shoulder could’ve been catastrophic for the Tide.
Bryce Young was evaluated and is now questionable to return.
He’s fully suited up and smiling on the sideline.
Clearly, there is no season-ending injury for Bryce today. The worst has been avoided.

Some guy in the stands may have been the first guy to break the news.
Bryce young’s dad gave us a thumbs up and kept telling people he’s okay, when he came back from the tent. You can’t get this type of reporting everywhere

With Alabama rolling over Arkansas 28-7 at halftime, many Alabama fans want Young to stay out of the game.
He needs to stay out

Bryce Young being ok is amazing but don’t put him back in. Let Milroe play

Let’s hope that Young is okay both in the short term and long term. He is considered one of the top prospects in the 2023 NFL draft.
