One of Alabama's NFL rookies suffered a tough break injury-wise on Sunday.

Cam Sims, who is with the Washington Redskins, got hurt on the opening kickoff of his first NFL game.

The initial indication is that the former Crimson Tide wide receiver suffered a high ankle sprain and may need to undergo surgery, according to a source.

It's an unfortunate development for Sims, who was one of the stars of the preseason for the Redskins and earned a roster spot after originally signing with the team as an undrafted free agent.

Sims was originally listed as questionable to return before eventually being ruled out for the rest of the game.
