It seems Alabama football’s offensive line is finally getting healthy. After two games of shuffling players around due to injury, Kalen DeBoer gave a positive report Wednesday.
DeBoer sounded especially optimistic about left tackle Kadyn Proctor. The sophomore has not seen the field this season after injuring his shoulder in pregame warmups before the Crimson Tide’s season opener against Western Kentucky.
“He’s been practicing,” DeBoer said on the SEC coaches teleconference. “He’s doing well, doing a good job and really was heading in a really good direction right at the very end of last week and turned the corner I think there, and is in a good spot here, done a nice job here in the first two days of practice.”
Alabama’s issues at tackle were compounded by the coaching staff trying to rest Elijah Pritchett, who was dealing with a minor injury. Pritchett did not play until late against South Florida, after taking Proctor’s left tackle spot over for the WKU game.
“We’re still working through the plan, but he finished the game out on saturday and really had no more setbacks, which was great,” DeBoer said. “Something that we were very concerned about and didn’t want to hold him back. He had worked very hard from the week before, and injury that people weren’t aware of just because of the way the score was, so he’s in a good spot right now as well. We’re working through that plan and just the rotation with the offensive line.”
Elsewhere on offense, DeBoer said the Crimson Tide will likely be without wide receiver Cole Adams. He’s also UA’s regular punt returner.
Adams suffered what looked like a serious arm injury against South Florida, but DeBoer said it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
“I think he dodged a lot of bullets with just how quickly he’s going to be coming back,” DeBoer said. “That’s great news for our program here in the last couple days, just with further assessments and the process he’s going through to get back on the football field.”
Alabama faces Wisconsin Saturday in Madison. The game is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. CT and will be aired on FOX.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers reunite with former Alabama State cornerback
![Tampa Bay Buccaneers reunite with former Alabama State cornerback Tampa Bay Buccaneers reunite with former Alabama State cornerback](https://www.al.com/resizer/v2/EGUJWUSJABAW7KW2OC6XOX2GJU.jpg?auth=b9ab493d62c98a17e613c3917dbf78c0fd2d24ed8001c4d5579df630d26be9fc&width=1280&quality=90)
After 11 days on the roster of the Carolina Panthers, cornerback Keenan Isaac is back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bucs cut Isaac when they reduced their preseason roster to the regular-season limit on Aug. 27. He landed on the Carolina Panthers as a waiver claim on Aug. 28. But on the eve of their Sunday season-opener, the Panthers waived the cornerback.
On Tuesday, Tampa Bay announced Isaac had been signed for its active roster.
The Buccaneers reunited with Isaac after placing cornerback Bryce Hall on injured reserve. Hall was carted off the field during Tampa Bay’s season-opener on Sunday, when the Bucs beat the Washington Commanders 37-20.
Two other Tampa Bay cornerbacks left that game – starter Zyon McCollum with a concussion and reserve Josh Hayes with an ankle injury. The playing status of those players for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions has not been announced.
STATE NFL ROUNDUP: WEEK 1
A football and basketball standout at Midfield High School, Isaac became a starter in the Alabama State secondary as a freshman.
Isaac entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie on Tampa Bay’s practice squad last season. The Buccaneers elevated Isaac to active status twice during the season, and he got on the field for 11 special-teams plays apiece in a 26-9 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 1 and a 20-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 12.
Isaac spent three weeks on Tampa Bay’s active roster after his two appearances but did not play again.
Isaac intercepted a pass in the Buccaneers’ 17-14 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Tampa Bay’s preseason opener on Aug. 10. In the three preseason games, Isaac played 77 defensive snaps and 22 special-teams plays and made three tackles last month.

Mississippi State Reportedly Hosting Alabama Commit Caleb Cunningham
![Mississippi State Reportedly Hosting Alabama Commit Caleb Cunningham Mississippi State Reportedly Hosting Alabama Commit Caleb Cunningham](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_2100,h_1181,x_0,y_103/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/cowbell_corner/01j7eefc7yv7ntqyyqsa.jpg)
According to Chad Simmons of ON3 Sports, the top football recruit in Mississippi, 5-star receiver Caleb Cunningham, will be in Starkville this Saturday.
Cunningham is from Ackerman, Miss., just 35 minutes from the Mississippi State campus.
Mississippi State and first-year head coach Jeff Lebby seemed in an excellent position to land the 6-1 190-pounder back during the spring, but lost the momentum. The out-of-state schools began to get Cunningham’s ear with visits to Auburn and Alabama before making his pledge to the Crimson Tide official.
Five-star @calebcunning13 doing what five stars do!

In the past, Mississippi State would have a tough time landing a top receiver due to the lack of explosive offenses, but Lebby changed all that. The former Oklahoma offensive coordinator runs an offense appealing to receivers – he can go after the top ones.
However, Lebby is an unknown head coach, which likely made Cunningham a little hesitant to commit to Mississippi State. Alabama has a long history of producing great wideouts like Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Devonta Smith, etc. and it’ll be a fight to get him.

New Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer also has a pedigree as a head coach, having led Washington to the national title game a season ago. It is hard for Mississippi State to recruit against Alabama, but with a kid so close to home, there is always a shot.
The key for Mississippi State to land Cunningham is for Lebby’s offense to deliver on the hype.
If Mississippi State can put an explosive offense on the field for the remainder of the season and build momentum heading into the offseason, it might a legit shot at landing its first 5-star since CharlesCross.
