How is Kenyan Drake? Hate to see that happened to the kid. Has already faced and overcome so much in his college career.

Possible broken wrist, maybe just dislocated.
Out only 2-3 weeks

Wouldn't expect to see him much before bowl season.

After Alabama's win at Mississippi State, Nick Saban updated Kenyan Drake's injury. He said it was a broken arm that should keep him out "a couple three weeks probably."
Saban said he would be having surgery on the arm Sunday.
The injury was similar to the one Alabama linebacker Alex Watkins suffered in 2011, Saban said. It didn't sideline Watkins for more than a week, Saban said.
"It's going to be something they have to repair," Saban said. "Playing defensive end is a little bit different from running the ball. So I think we just have to see how it goes. But in a couple few weeks, hopefully, we'll know a lot more."

They sucks. Freak injury,
It looked like Holloway's knee impacted with Drake's forearm. Both moving with force.

Thanks for your concern. He is out til bowl season - that much seems certain. Even then, I think he would likely be limited in the bowl. I hope this doesn't hurt his chances at reaching the next level. Kenyan is a great and often underappreciated player.
