Alabama added reserve offensive linemen Casey Poe and Jared Graham to its out list Thursday for Saturday’s SEC game at LSU. Neither player appeared on the Crimson Tide’s initial Wednesday availability report.

Poe has played 17 offensive snaps and 43 special-teams snaps this fall, according to Pro Football Focus. Graham, a freshman, has not played.

Alabama now has six players ruled out: Poe, Graham, linebackers Desmond Umeozulu and Cayden Jones, defensive back Nick Sherman and defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman. Quarterback Jett Thomalla is doubtful, while AK Dear, Ryan Coleman-Williams, Zabien Brown, EJ Crowell, Racin Delgatty, William Sanders and Terrance Green remain questionable.

LSU listed safety Dashawn Spears, wide receiver Phillip Wright III, Charles Ross II and defensive tackle Richard Anderson as out. Linebacker Whit Weeks is doubtful, linebacker Zach Weeks is questionable and defensive tackle Stephiylan Green is probable.

No. 5 Alabama (6-2 overall, 4-2 in the SEC) faces No. 14 LSU (6-2 overall, 3-2 in conference play). Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday in Baton Rouge on ABC.

Why it matters

Alabama will be without six players, including two reserve offensive linemen, for a ranked SEC road game. Seven other Crimson Tide players remain questionable, leaving several participation decisions unresolved.

What to watch next

The SEC requires another availability-report update Friday before 7 p.m. CT, followed by a game-day update no later than 90 minutes before Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff.
