TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — As Nick Saban tinkered with different lineups and player combinations during spring practice, it seemed like no two days were the same.
But there was one constant.
Off to the side, there was Cyrus Jones, pedaling away on an exercise bike, chatting with fellow senior Denzel Devall, while strength coach Scott Cochran barked on.
Jones spent the spring on the sidelines recovering from offseason surgery to repair a torn hip labrum. While there were no indications of any sort of complications or setbacks in the recovery, Saban delivered some welcome news on Tuesday.
