After returning from its victory in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, over LSU, the Alabama football team’s preparation for Mississippi State officially started on Monday.
Reuben Foster led the linebackers in a variety of drills. He was followed by Shaun Dion Hamilton as the group practiced shuffling then making a cut to catch a pass, which simulates a short interception. They also worked on the sled to practice blocking.
Also, Foster had his left wrist wrapped up in a cast. The senior still ran through every drill. It didn’t seem to affect him.

Coach Nick Saban worked with the secondary as it cleaned up one-on-one coverage. ArDarius Steward led the wide receivers in a drill where they were required to get past a defender and catch a pass on the run. Calvin Ridley, Trevon Digss and Gehrig Dieter followed in order. …read more
