Mobile Pensacola, AL, October 26, 2026 —
Ryan Coleman-Williams is hopeful he can return for Alabama’s upcoming game against LSU on Nov. 7 in Baton Rouge, while starting guard William Sanders is likely to miss two to three weeks because of an injury, according to the update provided.
The information does not specify Coleman-Williams’ injury status beyond saying he is hopeful for a return. It also does not identify the nature of Sanders’ injury or provide details about when either player was hurt. No further information about their recovery or availability was included.
Sanders’ expected absence is given as a two-to-three-week period. The update does not say whether that estimate is based on a medical evaluation, nor does it identify which games beyond the LSU matchup he might miss. His status is described as likely to keep him out, rather than as a confirmed absence for a specific game.
The update does not provide a direct statement from either player, a coach or team medical staff, and it does not identify the source of the information. As a result, Coleman-Williams’ possible return and Sanders’ expected time away are the only player-status details available here.
For Alabama, the two situations are described differently: Coleman-Williams is hopeful of returning for the Nov. 7 contest, while Sanders is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. Further details about Coleman-Williams’ status, Sanders’ recovery, or any changes to their availability were not provided.
