Alabama Practice Report 10/8: Team Sees Movement Along Offensive Line

Alabama continued its preparations for Arkansas on Wednesday in the media's final look at the team before Saturday. The Crimson Tide practiced in full pads.

Observations:

- Offensive lineman Arie Kouandjio was back working as the first-team left guard. He had been limited the past two days, watching his fellow offensive linemen from the side.

- Alphonse Taylor was getting reps with the first-team offensive line at right guard. That spot has been held by Leon Brown for most of this season, although Taylor has received reps there during practice on a few occasions already this season. It could be nothing more than just an experiment.

- Offensive lineman Grant Hill is still missing practice due to an illness he has had since the beginning of last week.

- Running back Tyren Jones (finger) wore a black, non-contact jersey with a cast on his left hand. When Alabama coach Nick Saban announced his injury during the bye week, he said Jones had surgery for a torn tendon in his finger and would be out for several weeks.

- Dillon Lee continues to work with the outside linebackers, likely due to Denzel Devall (ankle) being forced to sit out for a few weeks.

- A Tennessee Titans scout watched practice from the sideline.

Next:

Saban and selected players will speak to the media after practice starting around 6 p.m.
