Alabama listed linebacker Jeremiah Alexander as probable.
On Wednesday's SEC coaches teleconference, Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said Law was "day-to-day" with a lower body injury.
"He's trying to do everything he can to get out there," DeBoer added.

Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Law hobbled off the field after scrambling on a play where quarterback Jalen Milroe tossed the ball back to the wide receiver for a potential pass play. During his postgame press conference, DeBoer called Law's ailment a "lower-body injury."
"I don't know what he'll be," DeBoer said Sept. 28 following the Georgia contest. "But it's unfortunate because I thought he really had a great week or two of practice and kept building too, a lot. He was really juiced up before the game.
