Alabama was in full pads again today as they went through the final open practice before Saturday's game.
- Reuben Foster returned to practice today after we did not see him yesterday. He was wearing black, as he did on Monday. We'll try to get an update on him later.
- Shank Taylor, however, was not there as far as I saw. He was in black on Monday but absent yesterday. His concussion was initially characterized as "minor." Guys recover from those differently, of course, and some just need more time. We'll try to get an answer on him too.
- Ryan Anderson was at practice again today (I did not see him on Monday).
- Minkah Fitzpatrick has had a couple of nifty one-handed interceptions in the last couple days of practice. The one he had today wasn't quite as impressive as what he did yesterday, when he tipped it to himself and then caught it.
- Checked on the secondary briefly and it doesn't appear that Tony Brown has worked his way to the first team yet. Something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.
