Nick Saban gives injury updates ahead of Tennessee game

Alabama head coach Nick Saban gave a few quick injury updates during his Wednesday press conference ahead Tennessee week.

Junior defensive lineman Byron Young who suffered a shoulder injury against Mississippi State last Saturday has practiced all week and is hopeful to play some against the Volunteers.

“Byron Young has practiced,” Saban said. “He practiced today. We’re hopeful he’ll be able to contribute some in the game.”

Linebacker Drew Sanders, who has missed the Crimson Tide’s previous two games following hand surgery which he required following the Ole Miss game, is likely to miss Saturday’s game.
