Alabama football returns two players for its matchup against Texas A&M, including a young offensive weapon.

According to multiple Crimson Tide reporters -- including Charlie Potter (On3 Sports) and Mike Rodak (AL.com) -- sophomore wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson made the trip to Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Henderson, a former five-star in the 2022 recruiting class, arrived as a talented running back. The growth of Jamarion "Jam" Miller pushed Henderson to receiver, but Nick Saban liked Henderson's progress. He excelled as a receiver and return specialist in fall camp until a hip injury happened. The 6-foot-1, 186-pounder missed the first five games of the season, but he is healthy enough to finally return.

We do not know how many reps Henderson could see; however, it is a pleasant surprise to see him back in action.
