Here we are. The final practice notes of September, and the last ones before Kentucky arrives for Saturday. Have a bunch of updates that follow some of what we reported yesterday as Alabama worked in full pads.
- We're checking on the Blake Barnett news, guys. We'll let you know if we can confirm it.
- Damien Harris was dressed and going through individual drills that we watched. He might not have been doing rushing drills with the offensive line (I didn't see him doing it, but didn't see every rep) but that's two days in a row without wearing a noncontact jersey. Would say that's a good sign for Saturday but we'll hear from Saban later.
- ArDarius Stewart and Robert Foster were both wearing the standard white jerseys for the second day in a row.
- Shank Taylor was working with the first team offensive line when I looked over there. Lester Cotton was standing behind the offensive line and might have rotated in, but I didn't see it.
- I did see Joshua Jacobs taking a bunch of reps with the first team offensive line in a rushing drill. I couldn't watch every rep but he got more than the other guys that I saw.
- Tony Brown was working at Star with the second team.
- The Rams had one scout at practice and the Colts had two. The Jets or the Packers had one as well, but I couldn't tell what logo it was, just the dark green color.
