Alabama will face No. 11 Ole Miss on Saturday without two players, head coach Nick Saban said Wednesday.

According to AL.com, Crimson Tide running back Tyren Jones will miss several weeks after undergoing surgery on a torn tendon in his finger. Through three games, Jones has 13 carries for 89 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Also on the shelf is versatile offensive lineman Grant Hill, who is sitting out with an illness.

"We're just trying to help him get well," Saban said. "We'll see when he's able to come back and contribute to the team."
