Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze hoped having a bye week last week would’ve meant his roster would come out out the other side healthier than it did heading into the week.Freeze gave a lengthy injury update during the SEC Coaches’ Teleconference
However, based on Monday’s update, it doesn’t sound likely that Alston will be ready to return by Saturday.Meanwhile, defensive back Jaylin Simpson and wide receivers Malcolm Johnson Jr. and Ja’Varrius Johnson were said to be day-to-day or questionable with Simpson sounding the most promising to return.
“Jaylin Simpson, I think, will go.

We worked on that hard last week in the open week. They got a ton of reps because we’re going to need them before this season is over with the remaining seven games we have.
