Bryce Young battles shoulder injury with trainers during Tennessee game

Former Heisman-winning quarterback Bryce Young continued to battle a shoulder injury with trainers throughout the Tennessee game. Young was a game-time decision to start for the Crimson Tide as he continues to recover from a shoulder sprain he suffered two weeks ago against Arkansas that kept him out of last week’s game with Texas A&M.

Despite being on the field and looking ready to lead the team, Young continued to battle his injury on the sideline when not in the game — with team trainers trying to keep his shoulder loose.

CBS provided an update on Young’s injury status as the team took the field trailing Tennessee 21-7 early.

“After the last offensive series, Nick Saban got the entire offense together in the huddle — spreading some words of wisdom if you will to this team. Now as far as Bryce Young though, the trainers are using what looks like a ‘stim machine’ on his shoulder that would send electric pulses to keep that muscle loose,” explained Jenny Dell.

Young helped bring the Crimson Tide down into field goal range on the drive, cutting the Volunteers’ lead to 21-10 — but another miscue by Alabama in the half gave Tennessee the ball back after their first punt of the game. Tennessee punched in the second-chance drive to make their first-half lead 28-10 in the second quarter over the number-three ranked team in the nation.
