Nick Saban provided health updates on Jaheim Oatis and DJ Dale during his Monday press conference.
Dale and Oatis did not play in Alabama’s win over Mississippi State two weeks ago. Both were previously listed as co-starters on Alabama’s depth chart. Saban said both guys will return to practice this week.
“I think both guys are gonna start back to practice this week,” Saban said. “We’ll kind of, you know, determine how they do during the course of the week and what their availability will be when the game comes.”
Dale has eight total tackles and six sacks through seven games of action. Oatis has 20 total tackles and a sack on the season.
