Kamryn Pettway hasn’t yet been ruled out of Saturday’s home finale against Alabama A&M, but Auburn offensive coordinator Lashlee did say that it’s “probably more than likely that he is out.”

Pettway made the trip to Athens on Saturday but did not dress after suffering a left leg injury against Vanderbilt the week prior. Kerryon Johnson (22 carries for 99 yards) did the bulk of the work in his absence.

The sophomore still leads the SEC with 1,106 yards rushing despite not recording in now three of the Tigers’ 10 games.

Stanton Truitt and H-back Chandler Cox were both expected to play bigger roles out of the backfield, but both suffered ankle injuries during the game. Johnson is also still not 100 percent recovered from an ankle injury suffered at Mississippi State on Oct. 8.

If any of them are unable to go this week, Lashlee said it’s possible that true freshman Kam Martin could carry more of the load. He also said there's a chance head coach Gus Malzahn "will probably think about and look at" using defensive back Rudy Ford, a former high school standout at running back, out of the backfield.
