Crimson Red Sports

The long midsummer fueled football withdrawals officially came to an end today with Alabama returning to the practice fields in preparation for the upcoming 2011 season. The first day of fall practice traditionally brings a flurry of news items and this year proved no different.

First and foremost, good news on the injury front, with the Internet rumors surrounding Eddie Lacy and DeQuan Menzie both turning out to be baseless. The Menzie sports hernia rumors were entirely without merit, as Menzie showed up today with no braces, bandages, additional padding, or anything of the sort. Likewise, Lacy was not sporting a black no-contact jersey (and yes, injured players wear those even on no-contact days), so whatever injury he suffered does not look to be much of a concern to the coaching staff at this point.
