Monday Insider Report from Tuscaloosa, Alabama
By Tony Tsoukalas
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama began preparations for Fresno State on Monday as players practiced outside in 84-degree weather. Players were in shorts and shells for the practice.
Here are a few notes from the media viewing period:
— As expected Terrell Lewis (elbow) and Christian Miller (biceps) were both absent from practice. Saban confirmed earlier in the day that both players will be out for the season. Outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings (ankle) was not seen at practice, while inside linebacker Rashaan Evans was seen wearing a black jersey but left shortly after the viewing period began. Saban listed both Jennings and Evans as questionable moving forward but stated their injuries were “significant.”
