Alabama returned to the practice field Wednesday to continue its preparations for its upcoming game against Tennessee. The temperature outside was 66 degrees on an overcast afternoon in Tuscaloosa, and the team was in full pads.
Here are some observations from the limited access period provided to the media:
-- For the second consecutive day, Deonte Brown was seen working at left guard with the first team in place of Lester Cotton. Cotton, who has struggled this season and has been bothered by a mild ankle sprain since last week, looked on in the background. Cotton started the first seven games.
