Barron sustained the injury against Auburn when he tried to strip the football from wide receiver Emory Blake on Auburn’s initial touchdown of the game.
Due to the surgery and necessary recovery time, Barron will not be available for the bowl game.
Alabama is expected to receive a bowl invite from either the Capital One, Cotton or Outback Bowl on Sunday.
Mark Barron led Alabama in tackles during the 2010 season with a total of 75. The Crimson Tide safety also accumulated 54 solo tackles and was credited with two sacks.
In respect to pass defense, Barron was credited with three interceptions and six pass breakups.
Based on surgery and rehabilitation time, the setback could play a vital factor for Barron as far as the NFL Draft is concerned.
The Tide safety is a junior, but is expected to “test the waters” in respect to the NFL.
Barron’s decision to return for his senior season or enter the NFL Draft could very well hinge on his rehabilitation.
