Alabama picked up a big win over LSU on Saturday night but suffered a tough injury on the defensive front seven.

Fifth-year outside linebacker Que Robinson suffered forearm injury early in the third quarter of Saturday night's game and did not return. The ABC broadcast described the injury as "severe," and Robinson will miss the rest of the season with an injury.

"With Que's injury, it's certainly been determined now that he would be out for the remainder of the year unfortunately," Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said during Monday's press conference. "Just a special person in every way. You hate to see a guy who pours so much into it go through what he's going through."

He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but was taken to the locker room with his left arm in a sling.

Robinson is tied with linebacker Jihaad Campbell as the sack leaders on the team with four apiece. On the season, Robinson has 23 total tackles. He had two tackles against LSU before leaving the game with the injury. Robinson's best game of the season came against USF when he had seven tackles, including a sack. He also had a forced fumble and fumble recovery at Wisconsin.

Because this is Robinson's fifth season, he is out of eligibility and has taken his last snap in an Alabama uniform. With Robinson out, Alabama will continue to reply on redshirt freshman Qua Russaw at the outside linebacker or Wolf position.
