Alabama running back Mark Ingram suffered a knee injury late in Monday's practice, coach Nick Saban announced in a statement Tuesday, and has been ruled out for Saturday night's season opener against San Jose State.
This is not anything serious, and Alabama will have no problem rolling over San Jose State. Backup Trent Richardson who is only a sophomore will take his place, and he is far from a stiff. Last season he ran 145 times for 751 yards with eight touchdowns, which is really impressive for a Freshman. Saban says that this is not an injury that should affect Ingram the rest of the season, so this seems precautionary decision against a weak opponent.
