Alabama is expected to have a few key parts of its defense back in time for Saturdays home opener with Texas A&M.
Defensive backs coach Charles Kelly was back at work Wednesday, Nick Saban said after practice, after missing out on Saturdays game at Missouri.
“So hes fine,” Saban stated.
The second-year protective backs coach was replaced in Missouri by expert Mike Stoops, the previous Arizona head coach. Saban wish Kelly and his household “great luck in getting well” after the 38-19 win in Columbia.
“Were enthusiastic hell be able to contribute in the game also,” Saban stated Wednesday night.

The third-year sophomore had actually become part of the rotation on the defensive line after seeing success last year in pass-rush circumstances. Six of his 26 tackles lagged the line of skirmish consisting of 2 sacks and 5 additional quarterback pressures.
And on the defensive front, Christian Barmore has actually practiced all week after missing the Missouri win with knee injury Saban formerly described as small.
