Alabama practice report: Updates on 2 injured players



[ad_1]

Alabama went through its first practice of LSU week Monday afternoon. Here are a couple notes from what was a very brief media viewing period, as is always the case on Mondays:

— Jalen Hurts (ankle) was in attendance for practice. He didn’t participate in an early movement/footwork drill but then threw with the other quarterbacks after that.

“It’s going to be day-to-day,” Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said of Hurts earlier Monday. “Today, he’s going to start throwing again. (We’ll) see how he moves around in the pocket. He’s making good progress. These things typically take a week to 10 days before a player starts feeling really comfortable, so we’ll just have to see how he responds each day.”

— Alabama’s other injured player, wide receiver DeVonta Smith, was also participating in practice, and it looked like he was moving better during drills than he was last week.

— I didn’t notice anyone missing from practice.
