Jam Miller's status ahead of Alabama football vs. Tennessee has improved. The Crimson Tide running back, who was originally listed as questionable on Alabama's first SEC availability report ahead of the "Third Saturday in October" as he navigates concussion protocol, was listed as probable for the game Saturday, Oct. 18.

As Alabama reeled off 15 straight victories in the series under Nick Saban between 2007 and 2021, the Crimson Tide's annual rivalry with Tennessee began to lose some of its luster. The Volunteers were routinely non-competitive in the game known historically as the "Third Saturday in October," and the matchup waned in its national significance.
