Williams sustained the injury following a 40-yard reception from Bryce Young early in the second quarter. He did complete the play and tried to run with the ball, but he fell down awkwardly moments laterâobviously in deep pain.
Here's a video of the play, which sent Alabama fans in shock:
Nice pass by Bryce Young to a wide open Jameson Williams. Williams hurt his knee while he was trying to cut. He was not able to put any pressure on it. Bad news for Bama as they are now down their top 2 receivers.

There are fears the Alabama standout suffered an ACL and MCL tear from the non-contact knee injury, but the team has yet to provide any update on the injury.
The extent of the injury remains to be seen, but Williams and the rest of Alabama are certainly hoping it is not as serious as feared. After all, it would be a massive blow for a promising player like Williams who has a huge career ahead.
Williams exited the game with four catches for 65 yards. The Crimson Tide have a 9-6 lead at halftime despite coming in as underdogs for the game.
