It seems like Alabama star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is going to be out for a while.
On Saturday afternoon, Waddle was carted off the field after suffering a brutal ankle injury during the opening kickoff of Alabama’s game against Tennessee.
Jaylen Waddle —
As #5 rolls up on Waddle’s Right foot, you can see a sudden shift or shudder at the Talocrural joint. Waddle hopped off without placing weight through his foot. Immense pain.I believe it’s a Dislocation, & generally these occur with a fracture as well. pic.twitter.com/VkMnczWZCA

Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle – one of the best players in the country – suffered an ankle injury on the opening kickoff return that he was carried off the field with and was eventually carted to the locker room for further evaluation.
He's averaged nearly 140 yards/game this year.
