Saban hints at limited role:
Nick Saban said Tuesday night that Alabama's leading rusher, T.J. Yeldon, has practiced all week in New Orleans and is expected to play in Thursday's Sugar Bowl matchup with Ohio State, but probably not in his typical lead role in the Crimson Tide backfield.
Saban said on his radio show Tuesday night that Yeldon, who has been battling hamstring and ankle injuries, will be largely used to spell Derrick Henry and Tyren Jones due to a lack of practice time before arriving in New Orleans.
"Because of his lack of being able to practice with any consistency, I don't know that we can play him quite as much in the game."
Yeldon says he is good to go:
"It's doing a lot better than it was a couple of weeks ago," Yeldon said. "They're limiting my reps in practice making sure I'll be ready to go. I'll be good to go."
