This is the last week of practice before Alabama travels to Arlington, Texas for the first game of the season. Today during media availability most of the team was working against scout teams. One big portion of practice featured the defensive back seven working against a scout team. Linebackers Shaun Dion Hamilton and Reuben Foster joined the five starting defensive backs- Marlon Humphrey, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Eddie Jackson, Hootie Jones and Ronnie Harrison- as the scout team ran plays under the direction of coach Nick Saban.
