    Alabama will face Vanderbilt on Saturday as it looks to extend its SEC record to 5-0. However, the Crimson Tide will be missing wide receiver Kendrick Law, as he's been ruled out. The only other injury on the report for Alabama is linebacker Justin Jefferson, who is listed as probable.

    Law had one catch for 19 yards against Georgia, and he's had a quiet start to the season, catching just two passes for 41 yards in the two games he's played in. He reportedly suffered a lower-body injury in the win over Georgia.

    The Crimson Tide will also need to look elsewhere on special teams. Law leads the team with 77 kick returns on two returns. Cole Adams and Ryan Williams are the only other two Alabama players who have returned kicks this season.

    Adams, Kobe Prentice, and Emmanuel Henderson will see more snaps at wide receiver in this game, while the Crimson Tide will lean heavily on Williams and Germie Bernard as the leaders at the position. Williams leads the team with 16 catches for 462 yards and five touchdowns, while Bernard has 13 catches for 150 yards and a score this season.

    The Crimson Tide will hope to get Law healthy for pivotal games against ranked teams, including Tennessee, Missouri, and LSU in the coming weeks.
