Alabama football: tide works over bumps and bruises

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama, taking a look at the back of his left hand, Greg McElroy could not say with certainty whether the red spots were clear marks. Pain, however, was not no joke for Alabama is practically not only delayed category one and one and hematoma quarterback.

Seven weeks in the season with even more to play before it reaches the bye week the Crimson Tide ranked seventh (6-1, 3-1 SEC) feels the effects of playing an SEC schedule stepped brutal.Y not throwing hand which was inadvertently McElroy on early against Ole Miss Saturday only scraped the surface of scolding Trac issues at 7 p.m. Saturday visit to Tennessee (2-4, 0-3).

Linebacker Courtney Upshaw, D.J. Fluker offensive lineman and cornerbacks DeQuan Menzie (high Carver) and DeMarcus Hatter were limited way in Monday's practice of being wounded in a game against Ole Miss this exceptionally physical called coach Nick Saban.

None of the injuries were "sensitive", Saban said, "most guys only bruised, dinged... above, what should be able to go (today)."

Some other notable practice with persistent lesions that have not been able to cure completely.

This includes defensive end Marcell Dareus practiced on Monday with a heavy lifting tape on his left ankle ass that forced the game OLE Miss briefly.

Good mood on Monday afternoon, Dareus responded to comments Saban made after the game that dealt with players remain on the ground with injuries but returned shortly after.

Dareus "in his day, he would sound as they were robots," he said with a smile. ' "?"I did not say when hurt my ankle in game of Arkansas, he said, ' I would never sitting there outside in the field."

Said, 'broke me my leg in three places, and stood still and ran out of the field'."I said, 'OK'. If breaks my leg in three places, might as well put a stretcher."

Legs receiver Julio Jones' are good, but his left hand was a consistent problem against Ole Miss.

A week of play through the broken hand in South Carolina, Jones suffered a setback in the first quarter.

Reaching a McElroy, the ball pass doubling the index finger on his left hand rotates and stretches points suture had to put a plate and screws in hand surgery.

"" Was one of those things when the ball hit (his index finger) ", said Saban."…"Really wasn't created problema.Ha a small nuisance to him at the time and we re-x - rayed him was OK to go back in the game, but we decided to only we were ahead in the game and had hoped to get you ready to play this week".

You have relatively late bye week for second consecutive year, Saban decided to give the team two days last week to heal before playing OLE same Miss.Lo made last year in the trip on October 3 to Kentucky and on both occasions, the team was not as strong as you would like to be in game day after cancellation of Monday practice.

"" I believe that we should have gone ahead and do what we are supposed to do, "said Dareus.""Next week bye and we can fight it until then".
