— -- TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Anthony Steen's career at Alabama is likely over, as the offensive lineman is expected to miss the Allstate Sugar Bowl after having surgery to repair a torn labrum, according to CBSSports.com.

Steen, a guard, was the only senior starting on the Crimson Tide's offensive line this season as Alabama averaged 212 rushing yards per game. It also has guarded quarterback AJ McCarron to the tune of just 10 sacks, down from 23 last season.
