Alabama will be counting on veteran RB Bo Scarbrough and LB Shaun Dion Hamilton this season.

The two experienced players will have big-time roles in 2017, but both are coming off serious injuries in 2016.

Scarbrough suffered a broken leg against Clemson in the College Football Playoff Championship Game, while Hamilton tore his ACL against Florida in the SEC Championship Game. Both were big blows to the Tide’s national championship hopes.

On Wednesday, Saban addressed their recovery.

“Bo has done all of the work all summer long,” Saban said. “So you know he’s really fine. Shaun Dion Hamilton, who we held out in the spring, but has done everything all summer long. Seems to be getting along really, really well and should not have any restrictions going into fall camp.”

Yes, Alabama has enough depth and talent to lose several players and be fine, but Hamilton is really crucial to the defense. With Reuben Foster gone, Hamilton now steps up to play a much bigger leadership role.

It sounds like both are good to go for the Tide’s fall camp.
