DeBoer said Law is "probable" for Saturday against Tennessee.

During this past Saturday's 27-25 win against South Carolina , the Crimson Tide was without Law (lower body), who was initially listed as a game-time decision and participated in pregame warm ups, but did not play a snap.

Alabama wide receiver Cole Adams started for Law against the Gamecocks along with Germie Bernard and Ryan Williams .

Law has been out since the start of the second quarter against Georgia when he hobbled off the field after he was tackled on a play where quarterback Jalen Milroe pitched the ball back for a wide receiver pass.

Kobe Prentice injury update

Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Kobe Prentice (6) is helped off the field after two Vanderbilt players tackled him during their game at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024.

DeBoer said Prentice is "probable" for Saturday's game against Tennessee.

Prentice left Alabama's loss to Vanderbilt Oct. 5 with an apparent head injury after a hit by defensive back De'Rickey Wright. Prentice was sandwiched between Wright and cornerback Martel Hight on a 15-yard reception, a hit originally called as targeting but not confirmed. He was escorted to the locker room before halftime and was later ruled out.

Yhonzie Pierre injury update

DeBoer said Alabama linebacker Yhonzie Pierre is "probable to questionable" for Tennessee.

Pierre was also out against South Carolina with an undisclosed injury. He posted a picture on Instagram last week from a hospital bed with the caption "just a minor (setback) for a major comeback."
