Josh Ford Suffers Season-Ending Injury for Alabama Football
Josh Ford had two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game, and he is expected to have surgery later this week.
- Alabama tight end Josh Ford will miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to an ACL injury suffered Saturday against LSU, coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed on Monday.
- Renowned for his physical toughness, Ford previously played through a broken arm suffered against Mississippi State last month, returning to the practice field just three days after surgery.
- The 6-foot-6, 266-pound junior was a "uniter" of the Crimson Tide, serving as a key pass-catcher and physical run blocker, DeBoer noted.
- Surgery is scheduled later this week for Ford, who ends his 2026 season with five catches for 41 yards and two touchdowns.
- Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb plans to expand roles for tight ends Kaleb Edwards, Marshall Pritchett, Danny Lewis Jr., and Jay Lindsey to fill the gap left by Ford.
