Dareus should be GOOD to GO this Week Against the Gators...

Defensive end Marcell Dareus is the only Alabama player with a 'significant" injury this week, Alabama coach Nick Saban said today.

Dareus injured an ankle late in the first half of Alabama's 24-20 victory Saturday at Arkansas. He came back to play in the second half, but he clearly was slowed by the injury.

Dareus should be good by Wednesday

Alabama tailback Mark Ingram practiced Monday, wearing a brace on his left knee.

Ingram Injury Update

Look for the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner to be back at practice next Monday preparing to lead the Crimson Tide in its first road game of the season.

Ingram Doubtful vs Penn State

Ingram started "dry-land re hab" on his ailing left knee Mon day, coach Nick Saban said, and has several steps that follow be fore he'll be cleared to return.

Each step of the rehab, Saban said, requires a wait of 12-24 hours until Ingram can be eval uated before he can move to the next step.

"You can ask me, but I don't know if he'll be able to play," Sa ban said. "It could probably be a little bit of a stretch for every thing to go perfectly, but that's where it is.

Upate - Courtney Upshaw

Linebacker Courtney Upshaw injured an ankle in the first half and did not return, but Saban said he probably could have continued to play and will likely be able to play next week against Penn State.

Mark Ingram's Injury

From the sound of the limited amount of information available on Mark Ingram's injury, the tear was minor and required minimal intervention.


Hopefully, his tissues will respond well to the surgery, and he will have a rapid recovery.

He is already in excellent physical condition and has made it through the conditioning phase of fall camp.

If his rehabilitation is uneventful, he should be ready to play within three or four weeks. Doubtful anytime sooner.

Expect his debut in 2010 to occur in Fayetteville, Ark.
