Bye week:

There’s bragging rights at stake with the receivers when it comes to blocking.

“We was actually talking about the other day, who’s the best blocker,” Devonta Smith said. “Right now, everybody says I'm in the lead right now, but I feel like last week, (Jerry) Jeudy and (Henry) Ruggs kind of got off up there with me with the blocks they had on a couple of my plays, so I feel like it'd be all them two for right now.”

Tuesday of bye week:

-- Henry Ruggs was in uniform but it didn’t look like he was participating ...

-- Defensive back Shyheim Carter was also out there and practicing after briefly leaving the game with an injury.

-- This was a practice getting back to the fundamentals. ...

-- Players were in helmets and shorts, not full pads.

-- Guard Landon Dickerson was taking a few snaps at center ....

-- On a related note, we spoke with receiver DeVonta Smith earlier Tuesday. He was asked if teammates were giving fellow receiver Tyrell Shavers a hard time about dropping a blocked punt for what would have been a touchdown. “Something like that,” he said with a grin. “Shav’s the person that’s always, he wants to be perfect. When he did that, we were just like, ‘It was there, and you just let it happen.’ It was funny ....”

-- Anyway, it was a practice light on news. They’ll be back out there again Wednesday.

Alabama freshman kicker Will Reichard could play when the Tide return to the field Oct. 12 at Texas A&M...

“We’re kind of holding him out this week until Monday,” he said. “We think he should be ready for the next game, but these things are all day-to-day ...”

Reichard strained his flip flexor when he accidentally hit the tee during a kickoff Sept. 21 ...

In other injury news, defensive tackle DJ Dale (patellar tendon strain) did not practice Wednesday but participated Tuesday ... Dale suffered his injury against Southern Miss but has played each of the past two weeks.

“We’re kind of doing that with several of our guys this week,” Saban said.

Thursday of bye week:

Alabama went ... inside on a rainy day in Tuscaloosa.

Here are some notes from the media viewing period:

— Wide receiver Henry Ruggs (hip pointer) was going through at least some drills.

— Cornerback Josh Jobe wasn’t present during the portion of practice I was watching the defensive backs. With Jobe not out there, freshman Scooby Carter was third in line for cornerback drills behind Trevon Diggs and Patrick Surtain. Jalyn Armour-Davis was fourth.

You know Davis was a highly recruited player I wonder if he is gonna be another by the wayside type player on defense. RTR!

Ben Davis from Gordo?
Yes, there has been much chatter about his failure to push the starters.  This year he moved to outside LB, and was listed as #2 during August.  I don't think anyone expects him to suddenly become a top player.

Tuesday before A&M:

Reporters got a good look at a quarterback containment drill as Alabama continued to prep to visit Texas A&M ...

The drill was under the direction of outside linebackers coach Sal Sunseri, with the first-team foursome of Terrell Lewis, Raekwon Davis, D.J. Dale and Anfernee Jennings. Although Lewis (knee) and Dale (ankle/foot) are coming off injuries, neither seemed to be limited.

...

There was no change with the first-team offensive line from the bye week, with Landon Dickerson at center and Deonte Brown at right guard. ...

...

True freshman defensive end Byron Young has been getting first-team reps alongside Dale and Davis during the observation periods this week.

...

Safety Xavier McKinney told reporters on Tuesday that his thumb was "better."  “It just got a little banged up, but it wasn’t nothing where I couldn’t play, so, of course, I played through that.”

Junior wide receiver Henry Ruggs III helped lead his position group through drills, in his usual spot.
