Alabama will be going into Saturday’s Iron Bowl matchup against Auburn a bit more banged up than Nick Saban would like. Saban gave a few final injury updates on defensive tackle DJ Dale and linebacker Drew Sanders before the team departs for the holidays.
Dale suffered a knee injury during warmups of the Crimson Tide’s previous matchup against Arkansas. Following the game, Saban described the injury as just a scare but now Dale and mentioned that he did practice today and his progression will be monitored up until Saturday.
“DJ Dale practiced today,” Saban said to reporters on Wednesday.
