Auburn Tigers HC Hugh Freeze offers critical injury update for star WR Eric Singleton and key defenders following Week 3 victory

The Auburn Tigers emerged unsurprisingly victorious on Saturday over the South Alabama Jaguars with a final score of 31-15. Jackson Arnold scored another three touchdowns. Jeremiah Cobb dominated on the ground once again. Unfortunately the only other real goal of the week for Auburn–besides winning–was a bit of a failure.

What was that goal? Stay as healthy as possible ahead of SEC play. Unfortunately, Auburn has a few new injuries now that need to get right ahead of Week 4's game against Oklahoma.

Hugh Freeze offers injury updates on Eric Singleton, Amaris Williams, and Jay Crawford

The Tigers could have faced worse injuries on Saturday, but star wide receiver Eric Singleton, emerging defensive line talent Amaris Williams, and cornerback Jay Crawford all got dinged up against South Alabama.

Williams, who had become the ultimate "any-gap" weapon on the defensive front in the first two weeks, separated his shoulder in the game and "it went right back in". Shoulder separations or dislocations can be rough, often accompanied by varying degrees of labrum tears. We'll have to wait to hear more from Hugh Freeze and the Auburn staff on a real timeline for his return and injury severity.

Jay Crawford's knee-to-knee contact that forced him out of the game is also completely up in the air in terms of severity. Auburn really needs all their corners healthy against Oklahoma next week.

Then finally, Eric Singleton suffered a hip pointer. Depending on the severity, that could mean Singleton is fine and back next week. If more severe, it could mean he misses multiple weeks.
