TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama was back outdoors Wednesday for its 10th spring practice. Players were dressed in pads and worked under sunny, 74-degree weather. Here are some notes from the media viewing period.

— Henry Ruggs III was back with the team after missing the last two practices while attending a family funeral.

— Terrell Lewis (ACL) was in a black jersey and was not participating with the rest of the outside linebackers. Shyheim Carter was (sports hernia) was also in a black jersey but did participate in drills with the defensive backs. Inside linebacker Ben Davis was seen wearing a black jersey before practice but was not on the field for the viewing period.

— Alabama’s secondary was working in split sections with three defensive backs on either side of the field. The first group on the left consisted of Trevon Diggs at outside corner, Patrick Surtain II at inside corner and Jared Mayden at safety. The first group on the right featured Shyheim Carter at inside corner, Scooby Carter at outside corner and Xavier McKinney at safety. Later in the drill, Scooby switched places with Shyheim.

— The second group on the left was made up of Jalyn Armour-Davis at outside corner, Josh Jobe at inside corner and Eddie Smith at safety. The right side consisted of Shyheim at outside corner, Mayden at inside corner and Daniel Wright at safety.

— Alabama’s outside linebackers worked in pairs during positional drills. Anfernee Jennings and Eyabi Anoma led the unit followed by Kevin Harris II and Christopher Allen. Jarez Parks and walk-on William Cooper were in the third group. Anoma jump above Allen in drills comes after a reportedly impressive showing during Alabama’s first scrimmage over the weekend.

— Alabama’s first unit on offensive line featured Alex Leatherwood, Emil Ekiyor Jr., Chris Owens, Matt Womack and Jedrick Wills Jr. from left to right. The second unit consisted of Scott Lashley, Evan Neal, Hunter Brannon, Deonte Brown and Tommy Brown.

— Kedrick James and Major Tennison were both at practice in white jerseys, but I did not see either of them go through drills with the rest of the tight ends.

— Alabama’s quarterbacks started the viewing period by throwing to running backs and ended it by working with receivers and tight ends. Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones were the first pairing, while Paul Tyson and Taulia Tagovailoa were the second pairing.

— There were three stationary bikes at the workout.
