Knee scope sidelines Kamara

Alabama freshman running back Alvin Kamara will be out of action for at least two weeks following an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee.

Kamara, who adorned a black sleeve during Alabama’s Wednesday practice sessions, did not participate in team drills and was essentially reduced to "spectator" status.

As for the surgery aspect, Nick Saban delivered the news during Thursday’s post-practice press conference.

Freshman RB Alvin Kamara had his knee scoped. It is not that serious, coach Nick Saban said.

For comparison purposes in respect to Kamara, Saban used Mark Ingram's knee procedure prior to the 2010 season as the example.
