Alabama running back Jam Miller is expected to return from a dislocated collarbone in time for the Sept. 27 SEC showdown at Georgia.

Alabama running back Jam Miller is dealing with an upper-body injury but is expected to be ready for the SEC opener against Georgia on Sept. 27, according to coach Kalen DeBoer.
