No. 5 Alabama heads to Baton Rouge to take on No. 14 LSU on Saturday, and it may get a key player back for the contest.

On3’s Pete Nakos and Chris Low reported on Friday that wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is expected to play against LSU.

“Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is currently expected to play against No. 14 LSU on Saturday, On3’s Pete Nakos and Chris Low report. Coleman-Williams underwent arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee in mid-Oct. and has missed back-to-back games,”On3’s Daniel Hager wrote.

Coleman-Williams hasn’t seen the field since he suffered an injury in the second half of the Week 6 loss to Georgia. He missed the Week 7 loss to Tennessee and the Week 8 loss to Texas A&M. Alabama had a bye in Week 9, which likely helped Coleman-Williams get a little healthier so he could take the field again against LSU.
