The freshman running back who tore his ACL during a scrimmage in April and was held out the first four games of the season due to an NCAA issue is nearing full strength and could see extensive action before the end of the regular season.

He posted two carries on Oct. 3 during Alabama’s win at Georgia.

“Bo’s getting better and better every week,” Saban said, according to AL.com. “I see the speed coming back, the burst coming back. The biggest thing is we’ve got to get him up to speed on knowing what to do and getting him enough reps in practice to get him ready to be able to play in a game, although I do think he’s ready to play in a game now. I do think he can make a contribution, and that’s coming sometime soon.”
