Saban: Cam Robinson out at least 2 weeks
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama left tackle Cam Robinson is expected to miss the LSU game with a high ankle sprain.
Coach Nick Saban said Tuesday that Robinson likely will be out for at least two weeks. The third-ranked Crimson Tide is on a bye week before facing the 16th-ranked Tigers.
Robinson was hurt against Tennessee. The freshman has started every game for the Tide.
Saban says backup Grant Hill or starting right tackle Austin Shepherd could take his place. Guard Leon Brown, who has played tackle, is another option.
Saban also says reserve running back Tyren Jones is "suspended for now," but could work his way back soon.
Tailback T.J. Yeldon and tight end Brian Vogler are limited this week in practice. Saban says they should be back Monday.
