Alabama will still be without its starting running back for its first three games of the season against Florida State (Aug. 30), Louisiana-Monroe (Sept. 6) and Wisconsin (Sept. 13). The Crimson Tide have an open week ahead of the matchup vs. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs.
"He's a leader for us, a quiet leader, but somebody the players all respect," Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer told ESPN. "Having that bye week, I feel good that he will be back out there. He does so many things for us at that position."
Miller is Alabama's top returning rusher from 2024. He finished with 668 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in the first season under DeBoer, trailing only quarterback Jalen Milroe (726 yards, 20 touchdowns). Miller also added 16 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown.
According to the Tuscaloosa News ― part of the USA TODAY Network ― Alabama is expected to utilize Richard Young, Daniel Hill, Louisiana transfer Dre Washington and Kevin Riley as its rushers with Miller out.
The Crimson Tide opens the 2025 regular season on the road against former Alabama head coach candidate Mike Norvell and the Seminoles on Aug. 30 on the road in Tallahassee, Florida.
Jam Miller injury update
Miller sustained his injury during Alabama's second scrimmage of fall training camp on Saturday, Aug. 16. He underwent surgery that night to repair the injury.
At the time of the injury, DeBoer, in a statement said that Miller "should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined."
With the Aug. 22 report, Alabama now knows that Miller will miss the first three games of the season for the Crimson Tide, all non-conference games. However, he will return ahead of the much-anticipated Alabama-Georgia game in Week 5 on Sept. 27.
