Alabama Football WR Derek Meadows Exits Game After Targeting Collision With Missouri

Alabama’s Derek Meadows Exits Game After Hard Hit by Missouri Defender

In a tense game at Columbia, Missouri, Alabama’s freshman wide receiver Derek Meadows was forced to leave the field following a severe tackle by Missouri’s defensive back Marvin Burks. The incident left Meadows on the field for several minutes, requiring immediate attention from the medical staff. Once assessed, he was escorted off the field directly to the locker room.

Implications for Alabama’s Roster

This unexpected turn of events leaves Alabama with only six scholarship receivers. The team’s depth has already been tested due to the absences of Jalen Hale and Jaylen Mbakwe. Losing another key player like Meadows could significantly impact Alabama’s offensive strategies moving forward.

Game Statistics and Analysis

Before the incident, Meadows had not recorded any receptions in the game against Missouri. His exit on a first-down play adds to Alabama’s ongoing challenges with player availability in critical matchups.
