Nick Saban needs one more negative COVID-19 test to return vs. Georgia
Alabama head coach Nick Saban may not be on the sideline when the Crimson Tide take on the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday due to the coronavirus.
Saban tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, but has since received two consecutive negative tests and now needs one more to return for Saturday's game, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
The 68-year-old already underwent his Saturday test and the results should be available later in the day, according to Michael Casagrande of the Birmingham News.
On Thursday night Saban said he was "doing great" after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and has been asymptomatic.
Saban has overseen practices via Zoom from his home this week and revealed he's been able to do everything he's normally done in preparation for the game.
If he's unable to be on the sideline, Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian would assume the role of head coach.
Alabama is looking for their fourth win of the season after beating Missouri, Texas A&M and Ole Miss during the first three weeks of the season.
