Alabama could have one of its power wide receivers for Saturday’s game against Arkansas.
Sophomore JoJo Earle dressed for the Vanderbilt game last week and took part in warm-ups. He didn’t play in the game, but he looked smooth. The native Texan returned to practice this week and caught passes during Tuesday’s recap video from the University of Alabama. Earle suffered a broken foot on August 10 and was expected to miss six to eight weeks.
We are in the seventh week since the injury, so Earle is on track for his comeback. According to credible sources, Touchdown Alabama Magazine learned that he should play against the Razorbacks. Ja’Corey Brooks has come up against Vanderbilt, Traeshon Holden has been consistent and Jermaine Burton has had some good times, but getting Earle back is huge.
