Alabama CB Minkah Fitzpatrick was spotted working with the safeties during Tuesday’s practice session.
Coming on the heels of Eddie Jackson’s season-ending injury, Fitzpatrick’s position change could become permanent for the rest of 2016:

Fitzpatrick, a sophomore, has three interceptions (one returned 100 yards for a touchdown), 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble so far this season.
With a bye week to get ready for Alabama’s next game, Fitzpatrick has some time to learn the nuances of the safety position.
