Nick Saban provides latest injury update on Alabama TE Cam Latu after depth chart released
Published:
Alabama tight end Cam Latu has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since early August.
The 6-5, 244-pounder isn’t listed on the Crimson Tide’s depth chart for its season opener against Utah State on Saturday, but Nick Saban offered a positive update Monday on Latu’s status, revealing that the senior tight end is set to return to practice and considered by medical staff as “day-to-day.”
Saban on Cam Latu, who isn't listed at TE on depth chart: He will start practicing today. Rehab went well, was on treadmill last week. He's day-to-day.

Latu proved to be a dangerous weapon a year ago for Alabama and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young, as he caught 26 passes for 410 yards, and 8 touchdowns.
The Crimson Tide’s home game with the Aggies on Saturday night is set for a 7:30 (ET) kickoff and will be televised by the SEC Network.
It’s not expected to be much of a contest, however, as top-ranked Alabama is favored by nearly 6 touchdowns.
