Alabama RB Damien Harris helped off field

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) Alabama leading rusher Damien Harris sustained an apparent right leg injury against Kent State.

Harris was hurt on his fourth run of the opening drive Saturday for the top-ranked Crimson Tide. He was helped off the field without putting weight on his right leg.

A few minutes later, the sophomore was carted toward the locker room with his right ankle heavily wrapped.

Harris came into the game with a team-high 327 yards and one touchdown in his first season as starter after replacing Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry. The former five-star recruit was averaging 9.1 yards per carry.

Freshman Joshua Jacobs replaced him on the first drive.
