The status of offensive line starters Antoine Caldwell and Marlon Davis, immediate backup Glen Coffee and Marquis Johnson and special teams contributor Chris Rogers remain uncertain as the Crimson Tide prepares for LSU. All five were suspended for the Tennessee game on Oct. 20 and were allowed to practice last week during the open date while Alabama continues to investigate possible NCAA violations regarding textbook receipt for scholarship athletes. The school offered no updates on the investigation through the weekend.
OLB Ezekial Knight has returned from a sprained right ankle and is back practicing with the starters in preparation for the LSU game.
TB-KR Jonathan Lowe also returned to practice after missing the past two games with a right ankle sprain.
With Coffee on the scout team, Lowe moved up from the scout team and practiced as the third tailback.

DT Glenn Dorsey suffered a sprained right knee when he was chop-blocked on Oct. 20 against Auburn. Miles said he was optimistic about Dorsey's availability this week but wouldn't know for certain until later in the week.
As for less serious injuries to cornerback Chevis Jackson (eyes), linebackers Ali Highsmith (ankle) and Darryl Beckwith (shoulder), defensive end Tyson Jackson (back), Flynn (ankle) and wide receiver Early Doucet (groin), Miles expects all of them to be ready for the Alabama game.
