Reports: Alabama RB Jam Miller to miss opener vs. Florida State

Alabama running back Jam Miller is expected to sit out the team’s season opener at Florida State on Aug. 30 after undergoing a procedure to treat an upper-body injury, multiple media outlets reported Sunday.
Miller sustained the injury during a scrimmage on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed Miller went in for the procedure on Saturday evening.
“Jam should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined,” he said in a statement issued Sunday.
Miller, a senior, had 145 carries for 668 yards and seven touchdowns last season for No. 8 Alabama. He also had 16 catches for 155 yards and a score.
Richard Young and Daniel Hill as well as Louisiana transfer Dre Washington likely will handle the rushing duties against the Seminoles, who are unranked in the Associated Press preseason Top 25.
The Crimson Tide went 9-4 in 2024. The Seminoles were 2-10.
