Alabama practice report: Notes on injuries, base defense

Alabama practiced Tuesday afternoon.

Here are some notes from the media viewing period:

— First-team inside linebacker Christian Harris had a brace on his left knee and didn’t go through drills during the media viewing period. With Harris out, fellow freshman Shane Lee was the other inside linebacker next to Dylan Moses when Alabama practiced in its base defense.

— Anfernee Jennings stood off to the side during the portion of outside linebacker drills I saw. With Jennings not participating, Terrell Lewis and Chris Allen were the top two outside linebackers. When the Tide worked in its base defense, freshmen Kevin Harris and King Mwikuta were the first two outside linebackers in with the second-team defense. It looked like Ben Davis then came in for Harris.

— Freshman defensive lineman Antonio Alfano wasn’t present during the media viewing period for a second straight day.

— Former Alabama and current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Marcell Dareus was in attendance for practice.

— The first-team base secondary consisted of Trevon Diggs and Patrick Surtain at cornerback and Xavier McKinney and Jared Mayden at safety. The second-team base secondary had Josh Jobe and freshman Marcus Banks at cornerback and Shyheim Carter and Daniel Wright at safety. Freshman Jordan Battle shadowed Carter while freshman Scooby Carter shadowed Jobe.
