The team will hold two more practices before opening its season against East Carolina on Sept. 5.

After Saturday’s A-Day scrimmage, head coach Kalen DeBoer said the Tide defense must improve in tackling, pursuit and blitz execution — the defensive line and secondary showed promise ahead of the season.

Noah Rogers injured his left leg during A-Day and was carted off with a knee brace; coach Kalen DeBoer said he will get an MRI (updates are expected in spring and summer).

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said the Crimson Tide’s offensive line improved communication on Saturday during spring practice.

The starting five—without giving up a sack—continued working on techniques ahead of the season.

Coach Kalen DeBoer praised Carroll’s versatility as the team prepares for a Sept. 5 opener against East Carolina.
