Alabama Football Injury Report ahead of SEC Championship Game 2023
The Alabama Crimson Tide have three players on their injury report ahead of the SEC Championship Game: running back Jase McClellan, defensive back Jaylen Key and wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks.
Jase McClellan’s injury update
Alabama’s starting running back Jase McClellan is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game with a foot injury.
According to Nick Saban, McClellan hasn’t been able to do much in practice, which has put his status for the SEC Championship in doubt.

Jaylen Key’s injury update
Alabama Crimson Tide defensive back Jaylen Key is questionable with a thigh injury.
Key returned to the lineup last week against Auburn after sitting out the previous two games due to a quad injury. He had been starting at safety all season for the Crimson Tide and has recorded 53 tackles and one interception this season.
Ja’Corey Brooks’ injury update
Alabama wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks is dealing with a shoulder injury and is listed as questionable for the SEC Championship game.
Brooks hasn’t played since Oct. 14, and in three games this season, he has recorded three receptions for 30 yards.
