Jalen Hale is back practicing with Alabama football after missing the entire 2024 regular season with an injury.
Hale was spotted running routes by reporters Friday while wearing a black brace on his left knee and a no-contact jersey. His return to practice has uplifted many across the Alabama program, per the Tide’s offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan.
“It’s just been great to have him back out there,” Sheridan said on Friday. “Everything that he’s been through, the perseverance, the grit, the toughness, the kid loves football. He’s had a big smile on his face, and his presence has just uplifted everybody around him. We’re just thankful that he’s back.”
Hale suffered a significant knee injury last spring. He caught five receptions for 148 yards as a freshman.
