Alabama’s ground game took a potentially game-altering hit late in the fourth quarter of their intensely fought matchup against No. 14 Missouri, as starting running back Jam Miller was helped off the field with an apparent injury.

The senior running back appeared to take a hard hit to the shoulder and helmet area after catching a pass for a first down, forcing him to be taken immediately to the locker room for evaluation, leaving the Tide's backfield shorthanded in the critical final minutes of a tight SEC battle.
