Alabama was once again outside for practice as it prepares for its final home game of the season against Western Carolina. Here are our observations from practice:

Junior wide receiver Henry Ruggs III (bruised ribs) was spotted at practice but did not participate in any drills during the media viewing period. With Ruggs off to the side, John Metchie was the third receiver to go through individual drills behind Jerry Jeudy and DeVonta Smith.

Senior defensive lineman Raekwon Davis was not seen at practice making it the second-straight practice he has missed this week as he recovers from a sprained ankle. D.J. Dale and Phidarian Mathis were limited and were both wearing sneakers instead of cleats during practice. Byron Young, Tevita Musika and Christian Barmore were the first three defensive linemen through individual drills.

Redshirt sophomore Major Tennison and freshman Jahleel Billingsley were once again the first two tight ends through individual drills as redshirt junior Miller Forristall was not seen during the media viewing period.
