Alabama linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton suffered a fractured right kneecap during the Crimson Tide's win over LSU Saturday night and will miss the rest of the season, AL.com has learned.

The senior is undergoing surgery Sunday, according to sources.

It's the second right knee injury in the last year for Hamilton, who suffered a torn ACL in that knee last December. One positive is that there wasn't any ligament damage in addition to the fractured kneecap and that he may be able to recover in time to perform for NFL scouts in advance of the NFL draft in late April, per sources.

This is a big blow for Alabama, though.

Hamilton was recently named a semifinalist for the Butkus Award and was tied for second on the team with 40 tackles and tied for third with 5.5 stops for a loss.

Redshirt junior Keith Holcombe will step into Hamilton's vacated spot at inside linebacker.

In addition, fellow inside linebacker Mack Wilson underwent foot surgery Sunday, he announced on Twitter. Like Hamilton, Wilson was injured against LSU and is "probably out," according to coach Nick Saban.
