After getting a light day on Monday, Alabama was back on the practice field Tuesday afternoon. It begins preparation for the 11 a.m. CT Saturday visit from Mercer.
What we saw in the media viewing window:
-- Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was not spotted, which wasn't completely unexpected. Nick Saban said he would be day-to-day this week, presumably with the hamstring issue from the LSU game. Hootie Jones was at safety and Tony Brown at nickelback, Fitzpatrick's other position.
-- Henry Ruggs was on the practice field after leaving Davis Wade Stadium in a boot Saturday night.
