Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is likely to miss Saturday's game against No. 14 Tennessee, according to coach Kalen DeBoer.

DeBoer told reporters Monday the junior has "a couple things going on."

"Got to work through an injury with knee that's been kind of going on," the coach said. "We'll deal with that. Got the head issue, as well. Gonna address that, even the lower extremity there, this week. Pretty good chance we wouldn't have him here this weekend. Probably be week-to-week after that."

Coleman-Williams exited the 20-17 loss to Georgia on two separate occasions. He landed a little awkwardly while leaping for a pass in the second quarter. Then he was on the receiving end of a big hit in the fourth quarter:

This is a frustrating setback for the 2024 All-SEC honoree, who's bouncing back nicely from a sophomore campaign marred by dropped passes.

Leading up to the Georgia game, Coleman-Williams told ESPN's Alex Scarborough it's something he worked to address throughout the offseason. He said he feels "literally like Spider-Man" now.

Coleman-Williams is leading the Crimson Tide in receiving yards (415) and touchdown receptions (four) and he's tied for the team lead in catches with 23.

Needless to say, he'll be a big miss for the Alabama offense with such a big opponent on tap. The Tide hit the road to play LSU on Nov. 7, and Coleman-Williams could be a doubt for that one as well.

Fellow wideouts Lotzeir Brooks and Rico Scott will need to step up to help quarterback Keelon Russell.
