Terrence Cody, 'I'll be back soon'"

A relieved Terrence Cody told Alabama teammates after Saturday's 24-20 victory over Ole Miss that his knee injury was not severe enough to keep him out of action for long.

"He said, 'I'll be back soon,'" defensive end Lorenzo Washington said.

The Crimson Tide's 365-pound nose tackle hurt his right knee during the third quarter when Rebels ball-carrier Brandon Bolden fell into the back of his leg. Cody will have an MRI to further evaluate the injury, but initial evaluations were promising.
