Injury rumors surface about Tide’s Eddie Lacy

This in, Eddie Lacy suffered some type of pectoral injury during a weightlifting session recently. The rumored range of severity is varied, going from Lacy being sidelined for 2-4 weeks to being evaluated after four weeks to missing the entire season.

IF Lacy is indeed injured and he misses significant playing time, it would leave the Tide with just Richardson and Jalston Fowler (14 carries for 11 yards as a true freshman last season) as the only players with any collegiate experience at the position. Brent Calloway, a four-star member of the Tide’s 2011 recruiting class, was the No. 5 outside linebacker in the country but also played running back in high school, so he could be an option at the position as well. Provided he qualifies academically, of course.
