No. He pulled the hamstring on the punt return. Early in the game. Never came back in.

I can't recall a time where Saban has thrown an obviously injured player into a game. 


Mark Barron 2010 Iron Bowl. Torn pec in first half created a liability in the second half.

All around the ball, but couldn't even raise arm for one would be INT. Injury was obvious and further affected his ability in run support.

Still the worst personnel decision in CNS era

To be fair, Barron was medically cleared. And Alabama was abysmally lacking at DB in 2010.

Looked to me like Sean White played some for y'all when he maybe shouldn't have. I could be wrong about that, tho.



And Chris Todd.

Then I hope they fired the medical staffer that cleared him. It was evident that he shouldn't be out there.

But, to the point, he has played an injured player (cleared player, but injured to the point of being a liability) just as Dabo did tonight and many other coached in the past
