Latest injury updates on Kendrick Law, Kobe Prentice and Yhonzae Pierre
Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer provided updates on a trio of injured players on Wednesday.
On the SEC teleconference after the Crimson Tide’s second practice of South Carolina game week, DeBoer shared the latest on Kendrick Law, Kobe Prentice and Yhonzae Pierre.
DeBoer was first asked about Law and Prentice on Wednesday.
“Both of them are out here going through workouts,” DeBoer said. “On track like we thought they should be, making progress towards the weekend. I wouldn’t say they’re a full-go yet, but they’re on pace like we had hoped. Getting some work in, some individual and some team work there, too. It’s progressing along, and they’re doing a good job.”
Law did not travel with the team to Nashville because of a lower-body injury he sustained in the Week 5 win over then-No. 2 Georgia. Law started the first four games of the season, and while he didn’t fill up the stat sheet, the junior was one of Alabama’s best blockers.
Prentice left the Vanderbilt game in the second quarter after absorbing two big hits on the same play. He was able to hang onto the ball for a 15-yard gain, but officials overturned a targeting penalty that was initially called. Prentice went to the locker room and didn’t return.

On Tuesday, Pierre shared a photo on his Instagram story before undergoing surgery with the caption, “just a minor set bk for a major comeback.” A redshirt freshman, Pierre had played in every game so far this season after not seeing the field in 2023. The former 5-star has recorded four tackles and two pass breakups as Alabama’s No. 4 Wolf linebacker.
“Yhonzae will not be with us this weekend just with his injury,” DeBoer said. “I’m glad you brought that up. I haven’t addressed that. I actually didn’t know the information until really yesterday afternoon on exactly where that stood. So expecting him to be out for this weekend. But we’ll kind of see after that.”
The Tide’s first availability report of the week will be released later this evening at 7 p.m. CT.
Alabama’s home game against South Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 12, is set for 11 a.m. (ABC).
