TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Daniel Wright has been suspended from the team due to “a violation of team rules,” Nick Saban said during his Wednesday news conference. Wright, a sophomore, has been missing from practice this week. He did not play in Alabama’s game last week against Louisiana-Lafayette.
Wright served as a backup in Alabama’s first four games this season, tallying eight tackles and two pass breakups. He was replaced by Jared Mayden on Alabama’s second-team dime unit during Wednesday’s practice.
