Alabama football QB Bryce Young leaves Arkansas game with shoulder injury

Alabama football quarterback Bryce Young left with a right shoulder injury in the second quarter of Saturday's game at Arkansas.

Young threw his helmet on the ground while favoring his right arm after throwing a third-down pass. Young was not hit on that play, but Young was favoring his right shoulder after a sack on the final play of Alabama's previous offensive drive. Young lunged — trying to throw the ball away — on the play, leaving his right arm exposed as he fell to the ground.

Young spent several minutes inside the injury tent on the Alabama sideline before jogging to the locker room with Alabama's medical staff, still favoring the right arm.

"He's got a shoulder injury. I don't know the extent of it, I don't know how bad it is," Alabama coach Nick Saban told CBS at halftime. "They worked on him inside, so I'll probably see when we go in."

Young came back out to the field to start the second half and took snaps and handoffs before the start of the third quarter. CBS reported Young was questionable to return.
