Alabama Wide receiver JoJo Earle suffered a broken foot, head coach Nick Saban said on Wednesday.
“The only injury that we have is JoJo got a Jones fracture in his foot in practice a couple days ago,” said Saban after preseason practice No. 6. “Those things are probably 6-8 weeks, so we’ll just have to see how it goes. But hopefully, maybe by Oct. 1 or something like that, he’ll be close to being ready to come back.
“But he was doing a really, really good job, having a really good camp. Probably the best he’s been on a consistent basis. Just saw a guy that grew up and was playing with a lot of confidence. We’ll miss him for a while, but we want him to get well and I’m sure he’ll contribute to the team at some point in time this year.”
