"One more," Roberts posted on his Instagram.
Roberts allowed one sack in 2024 against South Carolina . Playing 501 snaps per Pro Football Focus, Roberts allowed 11 pressures and 10 hurries.
Roberts was limited to 17 snaps in the Crimson Tide's ReliaQuest Bowl loss to Michigan .
After Alabama 's loss to Vanderbilt, Alabama offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic disclosed Roberts' battle with an undisclosed injury during the 2024 season.
"J-Rob is one of my favorite people in the world, and he's going through a lot. He's in pain on a daily basis," Kapilovic said. "You don't have to be a doctor to see that when you're watching him move around. He's playing through some things that I don't know that most people would."
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team works out Sunday morning in practice as they prepare for the 2024 season. Alabama offensive lineman Jaeden Roberts (77) works against a teammate.
Roberts is one of three returning starters on the Alabama offensive line along with left tackle Kadyn Proctor and center Parker Brailsford . Wilkin Formby is expected to slide into a starting spot at right tackle for Elijah Pritchett , who entered the transfer portal. Tyler Booker 's left guard spot is left open, with the expectation that Kam Dewberry, the Texas A&M guard with one season left of eligibility, would take the first reps.
