Auburn at Alabama Thursday injury report revealed

Saturday afternoon, one of the SEC’s most storied rivalries will be renewed. Auburn will take on Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and the Thursday injury report has been revealed.

Both teams are dealing with notable injuries. On the Crimson Tide side, linebacker Deontae Lawson went down against Oklahoma and will be out for the matchup after undergoing surgery, teammate Malachi Moore confirmed Tuesday. For the Tigers, tight end Rivaldo Fairweather showed up on the injury report Wednesday as a Game Time Decision.

Alabama is looking to bounce back from a loss to Oklahoma last time out. It marked the Crimson Tide’s third loss of the season, leading to questions about their College Football Playoff hopes. Alabama came in at No. 13 in the latest rankings, just outside the 12-team bracket based on projected seedings.

Auburn will look to get revenge after last year’s loss in the final minutes at Jordan-Hare Stadium, but brings momentum into the matchup. The Tigers held on to defeat Texas A&M last week – another one of the upsets around the SEC – and will look to continue playing spoiler in Saturday’s matchup against Alabama.

Auburn and Alabama will square off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Here are the Thursday injury reports for both teams.

Alabama and Auburn engaged in a thriller a season ago at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and it came down to a 4th-and-Goal play from the 31-yard line. That’s when Jalen Milroe connected with Isaiah Bond in the back of the end zone, giving the Crimson Tide what would be the game-winning touchdown in the 27-24 victory.

This time around, the Tigers are going to Tuscaloosa. Cam Coleman had the perfect way to sum up their mentality, as well.

“Really a revenge tour,” Coleman said, via Jacob Waters of Opelika-Auburn News. “We’re going in their place and we’re really just going to go into their crib and just take over and have fun while we’re doing it.

“This is going to be some of the last memories we make with each other so let’s go make it a memorable game.”
