The Crimson Tide had to make a last minute adjustment on the line on Saturday after a surprise injury.
The Alabama football team opened the year with a 63-0 drubbing of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. By all accounts, it was all systems go for the Crimson Tide but a closer look will show the teams character as they overcame a last minute injury in a key position.
Head coach Kalen DeBoer said on Monday that Proctor would manage his injury and see how quickly he can return to the lineup. DeBoer updated the sophomore's status on Wednesday during the SEC Coaches Teleconference. "He's doing really well. He's pretty much living in the training room. He's got strong aspirations to get on the field as fast as possible. So I can't said one way or the other kid of where that would be as of right now with still three days left before we play."
"So you've got, you know Miles is been getting reps there. Wilkin can go back and forth. We've got a combination of guys we're working there to be ready to go for that," Alabama offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic said.
