Eight days before its season opener against Louisville, Alabama returned to the field in full pads.
The temperature outside was 90 degrees on a sunny day in Tuscaloosa.
Here are some observations from the limited access period provided to the media:
-- Raekwon Davis left practice briefly after consulting with head trainer Jeff Allen. The defensive lineman appeared to be grimacing and walking with a slight limp. He came back before the viewing period ended but wasn't participating.
-- Najee Harris was out of a black, non-contact jersey and was spotted doing a cone drill.
