TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama wrapped up its ninth practice of fall camp Saturday as the Crimson Tide held its first scrimmage inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. While the media was not allowed to see the scrimmage, Nick Saban held a news conference afterward, providing several answers to where the team was three weeks out from its season opener against Florida State on Sept. 2

Here are five things we learned on Saturday:

While Saban said none of his players sustained significant injuries during the scrimmage, he did state that running backs Josh Jacobs and Najee Harris were held out of action.

"We held two guys out,” Saban said. “We held Josh Jacobs out. He's got a pulled (hamstring), and he may be out for several days. I don't know how long. Those things are difficult to determine.

“Najee Harris has a slight pull. He'll probably be back on Monday. I don't know that we had anybody else. I mean, we had bumps and bruises out there today but I don't know that we have anybody else that would not practice on Monday."

Jacobs finished fourth on the team in rushing with 567 yards and four touchdowns last year. He also led all Alabama running backs in receiving with 14 receptions for 156 yards. Harris, who enrolled in January as the No. 1 player in the 2017 class, has been impressive this offseason and led the Tide with 70 yards on 17 carries during A-Day.

"Najee and Josh Jacobs, they’re pretty similar and they’re very shifty,” Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough said earlier this week. “They can stick their foot in the ground and get up field real quick, and that’s something that I’ve kind of taken from their game. That’s something that we all need to take from each other.”
