Alabama has cleared Ryan Coleman-Williams, Racin Delgatty and Terrance Green to play against LSU, giving the No. 5 Crimson Tide potential reinforcements at center, receiver and defensive line. Their returns could help Alabama rebalance its offense and shore up its run defense in a matchup with major playoff implications.

By the Numbers
  • 3 Alabama players have been cleared to play.
  • Alabama is ranked No. 5 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Yes, But

Being cleared to play doesn’t guarantee the returning players will be at full strength or immediately change the team’s performance. Alabama’s rushing struggles and defensive issues against the run remain concerns against LSU.

What's Next

Alabama’s impact will depend on how much the three players contribute and whether their presence improves the Tide’s balance on offense and defense. The LSU showdown could have significant consequences for Alabama’s postseason prospects.

Bottom Line

The returns give Alabama a timely boost, but they’re not a guaranteed fix: the Tide still must turn added depth into better execution against LSU.
