For the last few weeks, fans on message boards have been speculating Alabama football players Christian Miller and Terrell Lewis might return for the Auburn game. During that interval, injuries to Ross Piersbacher and Andy Pappanastos put their status for Auburn in question. A fifth player, Mack Wilson was not expected to return before the SEC Championship game or later.
On Wednesday afternoon as Alabama football worked outside in full pads, all five players participated. Christian Miller, Terrell Lewis, Mack Wilson and Ross Piersbacher wore black, no-contact jerseys. All four participated in drills during the media viewing period.
