Is Fournette Seriously Injured - Was it targeting?

Miles said in the ARK post game press conference he did not know what was wrong with the offense and that LF only got 5 carries because the ARK defense prevented the types of plays they had called for him??? So either LF does not know the playbook or attempts by Landon Collins and by 245 lb Reuben Foster to knock him out of the game or worse have sidelined him. The Foster hit looks like a targeting foul from this angle and reports from the sideline were that he "had his bell rung". After the Foster play the ALA celebration emptied their bench and students also came on the field with Saban expecting a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. It reminded me of what they did to Mett last year and celebrated. Earlier they had a clear shot at Jennings and backed off. I don't think they wanted to knock him out of the game. Foster's hit, leading with his head left Foster's right arm temporarily limp and followed on the heels of Landon Collins delivering a hard blow to Fournette. Fournette was too injured to return for Overtime and Saban said it won ALA the game. Since then he has gained only 18 yds on 10 carries at ARK before being pulled from the game. Fournette's longest run, 40 yds, is second to BH 46 yd run for longest of the season. At the beginning of the year no one would have expected that LF would not have had a slew of long TDs and KO returns. The pounding I formation runs into the line and KO returns have made it a rough year and he is of course wearing a target on his back. The articles say he is not injured but not finishing the ALA game and being ineffective at ARK suggest something more.
