Domani Jackson injury update: Alabama DB carted to locker room vs. South Carolina
Early in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against South Carolina, Alabama defensive back Domani Jackson went to make a tackle and left with an injury. He immediately headed to the tent after trying to stop LaNorris Sellers on a quarterback run then was carted to the locker room.
Jackson went low on the tackle and walked off the field with assistance. The ABC broadcast said he gingerly walked into the injury tent just before Alabama forced a fumble to take over at its own 27-yard line with 12:07 in the first half. The program later deemed him questionable to return with a lower-body injury.
Jackson later headed to the locker room on a cart with a towel on his head. His tackle on Sellers was his only one of the day at the time of his departure.
Domani Jackson is in his first season at Alabama after spending two years at USC. He’s coming off an impressive sophomore season with 33 tackles and three passes defended before taking his talents to Tuscaloosa. After entering the transfer portal, Jackson came in as the No. 38 overall player and No. 5-ranked cornerback in the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings.

Alabama got off to a fast start as it looks to shake off an upset loss to Vanderbilt last week. Jalen Milroe ran in a touchdown on the opening drive against South Carolina and Justice Haynes ran in a score of his own in the second quarter to give the Crimson Tide a 14-0 lead over the Gamecocks. Alabama was running a balanced attack with 100 passing yards and 64 rushing yards across its first four drives.
It was quite the bounce back after the upset. Milroe had a simple message for how Alabama should respond after the stunner against Vanderbilt, too.
“Reflect and build,” Milroe said. “I think that’s so important for a football team because, of course, losing feels bad. It’s all about how you can reflect and how you can refine and get better. That’s gonna be so critical for us to have a 24-hour rule, regroup, refocus, and challenge each other to get better. We know that we’re not a finished product.”
