JR (CB) DeQuan Menzie, Possibly back by Sept 4?

Junior college cornerback signee DeQuan Menzie could play for Alabama against San Jose State despite tearing his Achilles tendon in early April and initially planning to redshirt during the 2010 season, per Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban.

Noting that Menzie is "ahead of schedule in terms of his rehab," Saban said today that the Crimson Tide's hopes are Menzie will be nearing 100 percent by the Sept. 4 season opener.

"We're hopeful that he'll be able to participate in practice and hopefully will be full-speed by the first game," Saban said.
