Alabama defensive practice report: Two previously injured starters return to practice

Alabama went through its first practice session of preseason camp Thursday.

Here are some defensive notes:

— Senior cornerback Cyrus Jones and senior outside linebacker Denzel Devall were full participants in practice after sitting out spring practice while rehabbing from offseason surgeries. Both were medically cleared following spring practice. Jones and sophomore Tony Brown were the first-team cornerbacks in drills during the portion of practice open to the media. Devall and junior Ryan Anderson were the first-team outside linebackers.

— Senior Dillon Lee — who can play both outside and inside linebacker — was part of the first pairing at inside linebacker during drills with senior Reggie Ragland.
