Noah Rogers update: Kalen DeBoer gives latest after WR carted off

A modified version of A-Day took place in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. Unfortunately, Alabama walked off the field with a pretty big injury concern. Transfer wide receiver Noah Rogers left on a cart and was not able to put any weight on his leg.

Head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an update on Rogers during a press conference following the scrimmage. DeBoer says Rogers is set to get an MRI to officially reveal the issues. However, no immediate diagnosis came. Alabama hopes to have more in the coming months before the 2026 season begins.

“We’ll have to get evaluated here,” DeBoer said. “Unfortunate with him getting dinged up. So, we’ll kind of see what that looks like. He’ll be able to get the MRIs and all that kind of stuff. We’ll see what happens. We’ll have more information here as we go through the spring and summer.”

Alabama is the third school of Rogers’ career, beginning at Ohio State. But just one season was spent in the Buckeye State before transferring to NC State. Rogers spent two years playing for the Wolfpack and became a huge part of the offense. In 26 games played, he caught 68 passes for 919 yards and three touchdowns.

“Noah’s been consistent, had a couple nice catches, made some big plays there when we needed to,” DeBoer said of his wide receiver during spring practice. “Even sometimes short ones where we got to move the chains. He’d probably be the one that stood out the most.”

The On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings had Rogers as the No. 183 overall player to enter last cycle. A good chunk of wide receivers were slotted ahead of him, as Rogers was considered No. 36 at the position.

Bringing Rogers on only added to the wide receiver depth for Alabama. He joins a presumed starting lineup alongside Ryan Coleman-Williams and Lotzier Brooks. The Crimson Tide lost two big names this offseason, which made Rogers a desirable acquisition. First, Germie Bernard ended his college career in favor of the 2026 NFL Draft. Isaiah Horton then left via the NCAA transfer portal, now playing for the Texas A&M Aggies.

Rogers, if healthy, will debut for the Crimson Tide when Alabama opens the season against East Carolina on Sept. 5. SEC play is a quick turnaround this year, with the Crimson Tide hitting the road during Week 2 to take on Kentucky in Lexington.
