This Alabama football transfer left 2026 A-Day early with an injury
Alabama football lost a key transfer addition for some of A-Day. And his status moving forward is unknown.
On a red-zone play during 2026 A-Day, NC State transfer wide receiver Noah Rogers was tangled up with defensive back Red Morgan. Rogers was escorted off the field by multiple trainers and taken off the field on a cart. He could not put any weight on his left leg.
"We'll have to get him evaluated here," Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said after A-Day. "Unfortunate with him getting dinged up. We'll kind of see what that looks like. He'll get the MRIs and all that stuff and we'll see what happens. We'll have more information here as we go through the spring and summer."
Rogers had one catch for nine yards during A-Day.
