A tumultuous spring camp at Alabama will conclude with Saturday's A-Day game -- and as you might expect after all that tumult, a number of Tide players won't be featuring due to injury.
Per al.com, Nick Saban said Thursday evening that as many 10 players will miss the Tide's annual spring game, with nine players out and safety Hootie Jones "questionable" with a sprained ankle. Among those nine are running back Bo Scarbrough and receiver Cam Sims, who each tore ACLs during the Tide's spring camp.
There is some good news for Alabama: its highest-profile absentee, starting nose tackle A'Shawn Robinson, "probably could play" through his minor ankle and knee injury if the Tide had an actual game this week, Saban said.
Also among those who won't feature is cornerback Cyrus Jones, who revealed recently he played the entire 2014 season with a torn labrum in his hip. Jones underwent surgery in January and has not practiced this spring.
In addition to Scarbrough, Sims, Robinson and Jones, defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, linebacker Ryan Anderson, linebacker Denzel Devall, offensive lineman Brandon Kennedy and running back Buddy Pell will not play.
