Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams left Monday night’s national championship game against Georgia with a left knee injury after making a big catch on a throw from Bryce Young.
Young made the 40-yard pass to Williams in the second quarter with about 12:28 remaining. It was one of the biggest plays for Alabama all game long. However, Williams took an awkward step and appeared to injure his knee trying to get around Georgia defensive backs.
