Scores in opener Crowell (ankle) tallied seven rushes for 37 yards and one touchdown while catching one pass for 13 yards during Saturday's 48-10 victory versus East Carolina.

Impact Crowell was a question mark ahead of Week 1 with an ankle ailment and was considered a game-time call. The back managed to play, however, and while he got a modest eight touches, that's all the Crimson Tide needed out of him as they destroyed East Carolina in Week 1. Crowell figures to remain a big piece of Alabama's ground game.

Impact Crowell warming up for Saturday's game indicates that he may be able to make his debut Saturday. The running back had been sidelined since the spring, gradually working his way up to full health. Even with setbacks amidst Crowell's recovery, there is still a legitimate chance that he can finally get started for the Crimson Tide.

Will be game-time decision Crowell (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against East Carolina, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Nakos' updated report confirms that Alabama will push Crowell's availability to just before game time. Though the Crimson Tide may not need him for their running game against what should be an easy opponent for them, having the rusher available can help him ease into FBS action before matchups get more difficult. Crowell is a 5-foot-11, 214-pound freshman who can break out early, an impressive feat for a freshman, let alone one for Alabama.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Could be limited Saturday Crowell (ankle) is expected to play against East Carolina, but the tailback could be limited in the opener, per Pete Nakos of On3.

Impact Crowell's usage is yet to be determined against the Pirates, but considering he's battling an ankle ailment, he may not see much action. The freshman tailback figures to be Alabama's RB2 this season behind Daniel Hill, but the Crimson Tide may go deeper into their depth chart Saturday afternoon.

Week 2 realistic return Crowell (ankle) is more likely to return on Sept. 12 at Kentucky for Week 2, Chris Low of On3.com reports.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Crowell's injury involves one of his ankles. Alabama's head coach Kalen DeBoer said he does not want to rush the running back for the team's regular-season opener against East Carolina on Sept. 5, so he will enter Week 1 doubtful. DeBoer also said that getting Crowell back in Week 2, which includes Alabama against Kentucky on Sept. 12, is a more realistic return date for the freshman. So, should Crowell sit out Week 1, he will be probable for Week 2.

Impact Head coach Kalen DeBoer noted after the scrimmage that Crowell should return to the practice field sometime next week after dealing with an undisclosed injury.
