STARKVILLE, Miss. -- A pair of Alabama players sustained injuries during the second quarter of Saturday afternoon's Alabama-Mississippi State game. Following the Crimson Tide's 31-6 win, Nick Saban updated the status of running back Kenyan Drake and defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.

"Kenyan Drake will be out for a couple, three weeks, probably," Saban said during his post-game press conference. "We'll fix his arm tomorrow. He's got a fractured arm. A couple other guys -- I don't if anybody will miss a game -- Minkah's got a sprained knee. He may be out for a week or so.

"Reuben Foster hurt his wrist. He was able to go back in the game so I'm assuming he'll be OK, but we don't know for sure."

Drake injured his right arm on Alabama's kickoff coverage team in the second quarter. He went to the locker room with an air cast on his arm shortly after that and did not return to the field. A couple of plays later, Fitzpatrick sustained an injury on the defensive side of the football. He did not return, either.

Foster went to the sideline and the team's medical tent in the third quarter but returned to the field after his evaluation.

Before their injuries, Drake had posted two receptions for 13 yards, while Fitzpatrick had recorded six total tackles. Foster finished with a team-high 10 total tackles (six solo stops), two pass breakups and two quarterback hurries.

Fitzpatrick was replaced at Star by another former five-star recruit in sophomore Tony Brown. Freshman Damien Harris saw the bulk of the team's No. 2 running back duties when Drake went down with his injury, behind Derrick Henry.
