re: Bama Football Tidings

After getting Sunday off, the Alabama football team was back on the field for an evening practice in Tuscaloosa. It was a comfortable 81 degrees when they took the field.

A few observations from a shorter-than-normal media viewing period:

-- DJ Dale was working with the defensive line in a crimson full-contact jersey. He was held out of the scrimmage as a precautionary measure as he recovers from a minor injury.

-- Fellow defensive lineman Stephon Wynn, out for a few weeks, was spotted in a black non-contact jersey wearing a walking boot.

-- It looked like outside linebackers Anfernee Jennings and Terrell Lewis were getting a few drills off to the side. Lewis was limited in the scrimmage, Nick Saban said, as a precaution.

-- The quarterbacks looked good.

-- Running back Jerome Ford was not spotted as expected after spraining his ankle in the scrimmage. Freshman Keilan Robinson was third in line behind Najee Harris and Brian Robinson.

-- Players were in helmets and shoulder pads instead of full gear like Saban said after the scrimmage. This would be more like a typical Monday walk-through after a game than a full practice, Saban said.

-- Practice resumes Tuesday as they transition out of camp mode with classes starting this week.
