Alabama star wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is unlikely to play at Tennessee on Saturday, and his status beyond that game remains undetermined. Crimson Tide coach Kalen De Boer said Monday that Coleman-Williams is dealing with multiple injuries, including a "head issue" and an injury to his "lower extremity."

"Pretty good chance we wouldn't have him here this weekend," De Boer said. "I think it'd be probably a week to week after that."

Coleman-Williams, a former Freshman All-American, was knocked out of last Saturday's 20-17 loss to Georgia after taking a hit to the head. Earlier in the game, he went to the locker room with an apparent leg injury and played with a brace on his knee. The junior has 23 catches for 415 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Alabama is also dealing with injuries to two other starters. Center Racin Delgatty and defensive tackle Terrance Green are both dealing with lower-leg injuries that will require evaluation throughout the week. Green reaggravated a previous injury and was unable to play against Georgia, while Delgatty left the game in the fourth quarter. If Delgatty can't play, Mal Waldrep Jr. would likely take his place.

Alabama, now 5-1 after the loss, travels to Tennessee on Saturday, hosts Texas the following weekend, and then reaches its bye week.
