It looks like one of Alabama’s best defensive players, Drew Sanders, will be back this weekend against LSU.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban talked about Sanders’s progress at his press conference Wednesday.
Saban on Drew Sanders: "He's been able to practice, hasn't had any issues or problems. They'll do a check on him at the end of the week and see what the plan is for the game."

“He’s been able to practice, hasn’t had any issues or problems. They’ll do a check on him at the end of the week and see what the plan is for the game.”
Before his hand injury in the Ole Miss game, Sanders was starting to become a force on the Crimson Tide defense.
So far on the year, Sanders had 10 tackles. Sanders will be a welcome sight to this Alabama defense as it looks to make a run toward the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff.
Alabama versus LSU will take Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
