The staff is taking a wait-and-see approach with Alabama pass rusher Brandon Mack after his workouts on Saturday. There was no commitment yet as the staff wants to see him when he’s healthy. Word was that he was around 80-percent. The injury last year was a shoulder injury, but he was also battling some sort of left knee injury on Saturday. Eventually the coaches told him he should sit it out, so he ended things shortly after the second session began.
