- Ryan Coleman-Williams underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a meniscus injury, ESPN's Katie George reported Saturday.
- Coleman-Williams had already been ruled out of Saturday's game at Tennessee and had been playing through the injury before last week's Georgia game, where a hit to the head knocked him out.
- Sources told ESPN Coleman-Williams is considered week-to-week, with no clear return timeline established.
- Alabama hosts Texas A&M next week, has the following week off, then plays at LSU on Nov. 7 — the games Coleman-Williams's status could affect.
- Coleman-Williams, a former freshman All-American, leads Alabama in catches (23) and receiving yards (415).
Why it matters: Coleman-Williams leads Alabama in catches (23) and receiving yards (415), so his week-to-week absence removes the Crimson Tide's top target during a gauntlet that includes Tennessee, Texas A&M and a Nov. 7 visit to LSU. With no return date set, Alabama's passing game enters the heart of its SEC schedule without a timeline for its leading receiver.
