Alabama standout receiver Ryan Williams is day-to-day as he deals with a concussion, Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said Monday.
Williams’ status for Saturday’s game against visiting Louisiana-Monroe will be firmed up later in the week.
“He will go through concussion protocol throughout the week,” DeBoer told reporters.
Williams exited Alabama’s season-opening 31-17 loss Saturday at Florida State in the fourth quarter due to the concussion.
Williams took a blow to the head after dropping a pass with 6:07 left in the contest. Two Seminoles were in the area and Earl Little Jr. was called for targeting before the ruling was reviewed and subsequently overturned.
Williams finished with five receptions for just 30 yards with a long gain of 11.
“He never really got going in the game, before getting hurt,” DeBoer said. “We’ll continue to have to make sure we’re moving him around.”
Williams excelled last season by catching 48 passes for a team-high 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for two scores and averaged 10.0 yards returning punts for the Crimson Tide.
