Nick Saban stepped up to the podium soaking wet after the Crimson Tide's first scrimmage of fall camp. It was a rainy afternoon in Tuscaloosa, and the team had to endure a 40-minute break in action during Saturday’s scrimmage. "The scrimmage really started out with really good intensity, and things were really going well," Saban said. "We knew we were going to have some problems with the weather today, but I felt it was important for our team to be able to come here and scrimmage in the stadium." Despite overcoming the weather, Alabama did not escape its first scrimmage without a handful of injuries. Defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson had his toe stepped on in last night’s practice and did not participate in today’s scrimmage. Saban said he will likely be out for a day or two. Offensive lineman Dominick Jackson sustained an ankle sprain that “might keep him out for a couple of weeks.” Jackson had been working at right guard with what appeared to be the second grouping of offensive lineman. Defensive back Geno Smith sprained his knee and will “probably be out for a day or two.” Tight end Kurt Freitag sustained a turf toe injury. Saban labeled Freitag’s injury as “the biggest concern.” Saban also said a couple of players sustained mild ankle sprains but did not name the players.
