Alabama’s group at inside linebacker returned to practice Monday — following the win over Southern Mississippi — and started work for Ole Miss.
True freshmen, Shane Lee and Christian Harris took the unit through agility and high-pointing drills. Both guys combined for 11 tackles last week, while Lee posted his first career sack.
The players behind those two were Ale Kaho and Jaylen Moody with a few scout-team guys mixed in.
Markail Benton, who did not play versus the Golden Eagles, was limited.
