PREGAME
— Nick Saban on injuries heading into the Ole Miss game: “I think we’re OK. We’ll evaluate some of these guys in pregame, but they’ve been able to practice pretty consistently, which is usually a good indicator they’ll be able to play in the game.”
— Kendrick Law (sick) is in uniform and fielding kicks in warmups.
— Tyler Booker (back) and Jaheim Oatis (ankle) are both in uniform and going through drills during pregame warmups right now. Booker is working at left guard with the first-team OL, while Oatis is one of the first three DL to go through individual drills.
