Until Miller returns, Alabama is expected to utilize Richard Young, Daniel Hill, Louisiana transfer Dre Washington and Kevin Riley in the run game. A room he previously called a "logjam," DeBoer told ESPN that he expects the run game to be "a little bit by committee until Jam gets back."

Alabama running back Jam Miller is expected to return from a dislocated collarbone in time for the Sept. 27 SEC showdown at Georgia.

Alabama running back Jam Miller is dealing with an upper-body injury but is expected to be ready for the SEC opener against Georgia on Sept. 27, according to coach Kalen DeBoer. Miller injured his collarbone during a scrimmage last week and will be sidelined for the team's season opener against Florida State on Aug. 30.
