Kevin Riley News, Rumors, Updates - Alabama Crimson Tide

Available vs. Indiana Riley (jaw) is available for Thursday's game against Indiana.

Riley tallied 398 yards from scrimmage (222 rushing, 176 receiving) and three scores in the regular season as the team's RB3 behind Miller and Hill.

Out vs. Oklahoma Riley (jaw) is out for Friday's game against Oklahoma.

The freshman tallied 222 rushing yards and two scores on 56 carries this season while also adding 19 catches for 176 yards and a touchdown. With Riley out, expect Richard Young and Dre Washington to be the next in line for backup carries in the backfield behind Jam Miller and Daniel Hill.
