Alabama head coach Nick Saban provided a couple of injury updates on senior running back Kenyan Drake (thigh bruise) and senior center Ryan Kelly (concussion) during his Monday press conference.
"Kenyan Drake will practice today," Saban said. "Ryan Kelly is under concussion protocol. When he's normal, which he's very close, we'll allow him to resume activity. That's not gonna be today, unless something changes between now and practice. We feel like he'll be OK. It's not that bad right now. We feel like he'll be OK in a few days, but the medical staff has to make that decision."
Both players sustained their injuries in the first half of the Texas A&M game. Kelly did not return to the field after that.
Drake saw five carries for 11 yards and two receptions before sustaining his injury. He returned in the second half.

Henry rushed for a career-high 236 yards on a career-best 32 carries, scored two rushing touchdowns and added one reception for 18 yards while averaging 7.7 yards per touch and 7.4 yards per rush attempt. It marked the fifth highest single-game rushing total in school history. Henry also extended his school record for consecutive games with a rushing touchdown to 12.
