As Alabama's much-anticipated matchup with Florida State inches ever closer, the Crimson Tide returned to the practice field Wednesday to continue preparations. Alabama was once again inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility, and the team was decked out in shorts and shells.

Here are some observations gleaned from the limited media access period:

-- Alabama's Sequoia-sized defensive end Raekwon Davis wasn't spotted. Davis is recovering from a minor gunshot wound he suffered Sunday morning and hasn't been seen on the field during the short windows of availability provided to reporters since the incident happened.

-- Running back Josh Jacobs, who is working his way back from a hamstring injury, was wearing cleats and going through drills .
