KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- No. 3 Alabama coach Nick Saban told ESPN on Friday that quarterback Bryce Young is on track to play Saturday at No. 6 Tennessee, but that the final decision will be made during pregame warm-ups.
"He's done a lot more in practice this week and thrown a lot more than he did a week ago," Saban said. "He wants to play and feels like he's healthy enough to play. We'll know for sure once he gets on the field, starts throwing and how he feels then."
Young, the Heisman Trophy winner a year ago, missed Alabama's 24-20 win last week over Texas A&M after spraining his right throwing shoulder a week earlier against Arkansas.
