Alabama tight end Josh Ford is on the road to recovery after breaking his arm in the Crimson Tide’s victory over Mississippi State last Saturday.

Ford suffered the injury during the 34‑21 win and underwent surgery on Sunday to repair the fracture. The player is now working to regain full mobility in time for the upcoming game against No. 2 Georgia.

The Georgia‑Alabama matchup, scheduled for Sunday night, is a key contest in the SEC and a potential playoff‑qualifying game for the Tide. Ford’s availability will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.

Coaches and medical staff have reported that Ford is following a rigorous rehabilitation program and is optimistic about returning to the field. He has expressed a strong desire to contribute to the team’s efforts against the Bulldogs.

Alabama’s offense will need to adjust if Ford remains sidelined, but the coaching staff remains confident in the depth of their roster to compensate for the tight end’s absence.
