Alabama running back Damien Harris has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play Saturday against Auburn, coach Nick Saban said.

Harris, a senior and the team's leading rusher, suffered what Saban described as a "mild concussion" during the second half of a win over The Citadel last weekend. He did not practice on Monday.

"We hope without a setback he'll be able to play on Saturday," Saban said on the SEC coaches Teleconference on Wednesday.
