TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama freshman kicker Will Reichard is questionable for the Mississippi game, though coach Nick Saban is more optimistic about two defensive starters.
Linebacker Terrell Lewis and nose guard DJ Dale could return to practice Tuesday or Wednesday, Saban said on Monday. The coach said he's "hopeful that they'll be ready to play in this game."
Lewis missed the Southern Miss game with a hyperextended knee. Dale sustained a patella tendon strain late in the first half and didn't return.
The prognosis was a welcome change this season going into Saturday's game with the Rebels.
