Alabama was hit with a trifecta of bad news over the weekend. First, it was the arrest of Geno Smith for driving under the influence, then in Saturday’s practice receiver Cam Sims suffered a serious knee injury. On Sunday, junior college transfer DT Jonathan Taylor was arrested for domestic violence and was quickly dismissed from the team.

After practice on Monday night, Saban addressed all three of those things.

First up, he confirmed the worst fears about Sims’ injury: the sophomore receiver suffered a torn ACL and will need surgery to repair the injury.

Sims was expected to step up as one of the players to replace Alabama’s trio of departed receivers. He’d been running with the second team for much of spring practice, but was thought to have a chance to make a big impact in 2015.

Saban then went into discussing Taylor. The coach had previously talked about giving the former Georgia player a second chance; Taylor had a previous domestic violence arrest at Georgia and was dismissed from the Bulldogs after another arrest for double cashing meal reimbursement checks.

Taylor’s signing at Alabama did not work out, which Saban copped to.

Taylor wasn’t the first player Saban and Alabama have given a second chance to; defensive lineman D.J. Pettway was dismissed from the team in 2013 following a burglary arrest, but rejoined the team in 2014 after a year at junior college. Saban said that Alabama will continue to give players chances if they feel they have “the right stuff.”

Finally, Saban dove into Smith’s arrest for DUI. It was the senior safety’s second such offense; he was arrested for DUI in 2013 and was suspended for Alabama’s first game of the season. Despite the second offense, Saban said he will not dismiss Smith from the team.

As you can see in Saban’s above statement, Smith will indeed remain with the team and it sounds like he will likely rejoin practice at some point this spring. While Saban didn’t specify what exactly Smith will have to do to get back on the field, nor did he go into what Smith’s team-issued sanctions would be, it sounds all but assured that Smith will be on the roster for 2015.
