Rain throughout the afternoon forced Alabama football inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility for practice on Tuesday. Here are our observations from the viewing period:

Freshman inside linebackers Shane Lee and Christian Harris remained with the first-team defense. Coach Nick Saban said Monday that there has been ongoing competition at inside linebacker.

Senior cornerback Shyheim Carter was wearing a brace on his left knee. Senior safety Jared Mayden had a brace on his right knee.

Sophomore cornerback Josh Jobe was off to the side during team drills. He also jogged onto the field late during Monday’s viewing period.

The first-team defensive line consisted of, as expected, senior Raekwon Davis and freshmen D.J. Dale and Byron Young.

While the first-team defense was going through team drills, several outside linebackers seemed to practicing coverage skills.
