**Junior wide receiver Kenny Bell had one of his knees wrapped, but he was participating in drills. Alabama coach Nick Saban said Thursday that Bell "has had some nagging sort of things that have been difficult for him to deal with in camp. We're hopeful that he'll be a player that will make a significant impact for us."
**Junior Kevin Norwood and sophomore DeAndrew White led the two lines of receivers in drills.
**Receivers seemed to make more catches during a one-handed drill than some have been making with both hands
**In defense of the receivers, many of the passes have been off target. But not the ones from starting quarterback AJ McCarron...

Coach Saban mentioned that Kenny Bell had a "nagging injury".  CNS would call it that if his leg fell off!   :(

All coaches talk like that. It's called coachspeak.  Football coaches are more secretive than the CIA.

I would say from the way AJ is being described as throwing he is on schedule. I would say though that scrimmage Saturday will be a big one. If Eddie is out there running the football we will know if he is limping for sure. RTR!

I hope KB is ok. It's good to see some talk about DeAndrew White. I was concerned about his involvement in the brawl earlier this year. Apparently all is well there.

Not getting much press, but Landon Collins (I hear) is becoming a star DB this summer.  Sounds like he'll see playing time early, despite starting out the summer behind several players at safety.  He's a player!
