DeBoer Updates Alabama Scrimmage Progress | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama football kicked off preseason camp with a major scrimmage, and Coach Kalen DeBoer delivered key updates: EJ Crowell’s sidelined for practices but game-ready, while AK Dear’s injury—despite a TD—still needs evaluation. The offensive line showed steady progress, especially in pass protection and run game execution, though communication tweaks remain. QB competition continues without a starter named yet. Discipline is a focus after a penalty-heavy scrimmage, partly due to full officiating. Defensive backs made big plays on tipped balls, running backs flashed receiving ability, the defensive line dominated, and tight ends improved as the day went on. The goal? More reps for young players and team continuity—with setbacks like injuries and penalties, the staff sees clear improvement as camp deepens.
