Good afternoon.
Was an easy drive into the ATL. Just like I like it.
The team has not arrived yet, but Kathryn Skeean will be there to meet him and provide pregame video, and hopefully some photos.
Obviously, injuries have been the question all week. Here is what we know as of this second, with the only caveat that pre-game warmups could still play a role.
Brock Bowers - Will play
Tate Ratlege - Will play
Ladd McConkey - Expected to play. Ladd had a cortisone shot earlier this week. He's not 100 percent, obviously, but is expected to go as long as he can. Will solely depend on him as far as that is concerned.
RaRa Thomas - Earlier in the week, it appeared that Thomas might be able to give it a go; but his foot swelled up the middle of the week. He's more doubtful than he was. Will see if he's able to go through warmups or not.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson - As y'all know, he had surgery to repair the broken bone in his forearm. He is extremely doubtful.
Julian Humphrey - His shoulder (collarbone) has improved. There is an outside shot he play, but that's not certain. If he dresses, pre-game warmups will determine his course.
Smael Mondon - His body is beat up. He's sore. There's no specific injury, but he is scheduled to play.
**********
Once the team starts filtering on the field, I'll post notes below in this thread. You will know when there's an update when I update the timestamp.
2:06 - Team just arrived at the stadium. Kate will have video in a bit
2:08 - Nick Saban arrives. Tide fans cheer. Dawg fans boo.
2:11 - Kirby Smart arrives. Dawg fans cheer. Tide fans boo.
2:27 - Players starting to trickle on the field. Specialists on right now
2:41 - Ladd McConkey is going through early warmups with the WRs. Not seeing RaRa at this moment.
2:44 - Brock on the field for early warmups. Looks fine to me.
2:48 - Not currently seeing Julian Humphrey with the other CBs for early warmups
2:51 - Ladd has a decent size wrap on his right ankle.
2:59 - Not seeing Juman Dumas-Johnson going through early warmups with the inside backers. Smael Mondon is going through early warmups.
2:59 - Did not see Julian Humphrey go through early warmups with the cornerbacks.
3:09 - RaRa Thomas is out
3:17 - Mews, McConkkey and Lovett among those practicing punt returns
3:21 - FWIW, Ladd seems to be looking OK. Does not seem tentative
3:26 - Julian Humphrey is here but he is not dressed out.
3:28 - Warming up as the first team offensive line - LT Earnest Greene III, LG Xavier Truss, Center Sedrick Van Pran, RG Tate Ratledge, RT Amarius Mims
3:29 - Jace McClellen is dressed out for Alabama but did not go through early drills
3:30 - Jamon Dumas-Johnson is here but not dressed out
3:34 - McConkey and Bowers appear to be taking their normal warmup reps at the front of the line. McConkey just made a nice reaching grab on the sideline.
3:37 - Smael Mondon announced as a starter for the defense. Truss announced at LG, Ratledge at RG. Bowers announced at tight end (along with Oscar Delp). MRJ and Lovett were announced as the receivers.
3:43 - Jace McClellan was just announced as the starter. But we'll see about that.
3:43 - Teams headed back to the locker room
3:44 - Enjoy the game!
