Alabama Football Key Linemen Absent Fall Scrimmage With Injuries

Alabama football held its first fall camp scrimmage with several wide receivers, including Germie Bernard and Isaiah Horton, showing promising performances under coach Kalen DeBoer. Horton, a transfer from Miami, is expected to be the third receiver, while redshirt freshman Rico Scott impresses with speed and blocking skills. Offensive guard Jaeden Roberts missed the scrimmage due to a recent injury, but DeBoer does not anticipate it being long-term, and Roberts is expected to return soon. Defensive lineman James Smith also missed the scrimmage but continues to make progress in his recovery. The offensive line, with returning starters Roberts, center Parker Brailsford, and left tackle Kadyn Proctor, remains a strength, with Kam Dewberry and Geno VanDeMark competing for starting guard positions. Overall, DeBoer expressed optimism about the team's depth and health as they prepare for their season opener against Florida State.
