Alabama will have early practice Thursday before players celebrate Thanksgiving.
On Wednesday, Nick Saban had his press conference and weekly radio show.

During the presser, he updated the media on several Crimson Tide injuries. Alabama did not have Eli Ricks (head), Jahmyr Gibbs (ankle), and Cameron Latu (ankle) against Austin Peay. Tyler Steen, an offensive tackle, suffered a lower-body injury in the first half against the Governors. Saban said all injured players practiced, but he gave no details as to if they will play against Auburn in the Iron Bowl. The Tide earned a 34-0 victory over Austin Peay, but the Tigers are bringing more energy.
Saban said Alabama football has to be focused at home on Saturday in Tuscaloosa.
Hopefully, all injured plays will participate on Senior Day. Alabama is honoring 17 seniors against the Tigers.
