Alabama right tackle Matt Womack recently sustained a broken a bone in his foot, BamaOnLine has learned, and is expected to miss all of the team’s spring practices, which begin today.

The injury occurred during a workout, and he will have surgery on his injured foot this week.

Womack, a redshirt junior, earned the starting job at right tackle last season following strong spring and preseason camps and was part of an offensive line that was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award. He started all 14 of Alabama’s games, including the team’s two playoff contests.

The Hernando, Miss., native was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week and Tide coaches recognized him as an offensive player of the week for his efforts against Fresno State.

With Womack’s injury, sophomore Jedrick Wills will likely work with the first-team O-line.

UA begins its spring football practice schedule today (Tuesday, March 20) at 3:30 p.m. CT. Head coach Nick Saban will address reporters following the conclusion of the first of 15 practices.

Alabama’s annual A-Day Game will take place Saturday, April 21, at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
