Alabama’s Jam Miller Sidelined for Season Opener Against Florida State
Miller led Alabama with 668 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024 but will miss the opener after an upper-body injury requiring a medical procedure, coach Kalen DeBoer said.
- Senior running back Jam Miller of the Alabama Crimson Tide sustained an upper-body injury during the team's second fall scrimmage on August 16, 2025, at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
- Miller underwent a medical procedure the same evening, and head coach Kalen DeBoer announced Miller will miss multiple games, including the season opener on August 30 at Florida State.
- Miller, a senior and the Tide’s top returning rusher with 668 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024, shared a close relationship with quarterback Ty Simpson, who was named the 2025 starter.
- DeBoer indicated that Jam is expected to make a full recovery, though the specific schedule for his comeback has not been set, and Alabama will depend on running backs Richard Young and Daniel Hill to take on the primary rushing duties in his absence.
- Miller’s injury impacts Alabama’s offense early in 2025, suggesting the team must adjust its running back depth chart as it opens the season on the road against Florida State.
