What we saw

-- Still no sign of star DE A'Shawn Robinson, who wasn't spotted at the morning practice, either. Saban will update Robinson's status after Thursday's practice. His absence is not for disciplinary reasons. Without Robinson, Alabama's entire first-team defensive line from A-Day is not practicing. Jarran Reed and Brandon Ivory remain indefinitely suspended.

-- CB Eddie Jackson continues to look like someone who is more than four months removed from knee surgery. He runs smoothly and looked good shuffling side to side during one particular drill. He even took a bit of a pop from freshman safety Laurence "Hootie" Jones and wasn't any worse for the wear...

Hmmm.

Perhaps no one was better suited for this drill than Kenyan Drake. Read more...

Eddie Jackson (recovering from spring knee surgery) participated with everyone else in a crimson jersey. He showed no hesitation during the drill.

Is it possible we can get lucky for a change!!?

LB Trey DePriest, sporting a brace on his left knee, worked through drills and was doing so with a bit more pace, but he's still not 100 percent.

Still no sign of star DE A'Shawn Robinson, who wasn't spotted at the morning practice, either. Saban will update Robinson's status after Thursday's practice. His absence is not for disciplinary reasons. Without Robinson, Alabama's entire first-team defensive line from A-Day is not practicing. Jarran Reed and Brandon Ivory remain indefinitely suspended.

Offensive guard Leon Brown, who has yet to practice because of a foot injury, has added straight-line running to his rehabilitation regiment but is "still probably a week away from really being able to play," Saban said.

Brown was Alabama's first-team right guard at A-Day. During his absence, sophomore Alphonse Taylor has worked with the first team and junior-college transfer Dominick Jackson has been with the second group.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- University of Alabama defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson sprained his knee on Sunday and is “day to day,” according to coach Nick Saban. “It’s not surgical,” Saban said. “It’s probably going to take a few days before we get him back out there, maybe a week or so.” Robinson played in every game and started two contests as a true freshman last season, racking up 38 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 5 1/2 sacks.

How Alabama's injuries, suspensions tested - and will continue to test - its depth on defensive line

By Andrew Gribble | agribble@al.com

All told, the defensive line duo missed seven practices. Read more...

[Chechem]

Jarran Reed and Brandon Ivory returned from their respective suspensions, but the NCAA-mandated five-day acclimatization period will prevent the duo from participating in Saturday's scrimmage and won't allow them to return to full capacity until Tuesday.

Also out for Saturday's scrimmage is star sophomore A'Shawn Robinson, who is dealing with a sprained knee. Freshman O.J. Smith, a three-star recruit who wasn't anticipated to take on a significant role in 2014, will soon undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.

"We thought that the defensive line was an area we had pretty good depth going in with the guys that we recruited," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "But, you know, it's provided an opportunity to create more reps for some of the younger players." ...

Not sure what we'll learn from the scrimmage on Saturday now.  If the O-line can't block the 3rd team, guess that'll be telling.  Otherwise, expect the QBs to have a big day!

CNS stated that the scrimmage Saturday would be basically for establishing who will play this year and who wouldn't. This might be an interesting practice.
