Alabama quarterback Bryce Young left the Crimson Tide's game versus Arkansas mid-way through the second quarter after appearing to suffer a right shoulder injury on a diving pass attempt.
According to the College Football Docs, including University of Houston football head physician Dr. Walt Lowe, Young's injury is consistent with a right shoulder subluxation with associated ligament damage.
Young went back to the locker room with 7:06 left and will likely be ruled out for the game, according to the Pro Football Docs said.
The reigning Heisman Throphy winner could miss multiple weeks depending on the results of the MRI, according to the Docs.
Young initially stayed in after the apparent injury, during which his shoulder quickly shifted out and back in the socket, but likely felt significant pain on his next throw due to the stress on his injured ligaments.
Four-star redshirt-freshman Jalen Milroe came in for Young and scored a short rushing touchdown on the same drive.
Former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky injured his shoulder in a similar fashion during Week 11, 2018.
Trubisky missed two games with damage to his labrum and rotator cuff.
The hope is there's no rotator cuff involvement for Young, as mentioned by CBS analyst Gary Danielson, who suffered a torn rotator cuff in 1985 that ended his time as an NFL starting QB.
