Alabama defensive lineman LT Overton has been cleared to return from an undisclosed illness, sources confirm to BamaOnLine. Overton will play in the Crimson Tide’s Rose Bowl matchup with Indiana on New Year’s Day. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz first reported the Overton news.
Earlier on Tuesday, Overton stated, “Back like I never left,” on his Instagram story.
On Monday, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an update on Overton’s progress.
“LT, just continue to monitor him,” DeBoer said. “Definitely not ruling him out right now, but we’ll continue to evaluate him and see how things go here in the days ahead.”
Overton has missed the last two games because of an illness. The senior started the first 12 games of Alabama’s 2025 season before being ruled out for the SEC Championship Game. He is second on the team in sacks (4) and has recorded 35 tackles and six tackles for loss.
Overton’s return will be a boost for an Alabama defense that recorded a season-high five sacks in its 34-24 playoff win over Oklahoma. One of Overton’s backups, Keon Keeley, had one of the five sacks. The senior was missed in the Crimson Tide’s SEC title game loss to Georgia.
DeBoer said on Monday that Alabama was “as healthy as we’ve been in a long time.” The Tide offense was nearly at full strength in Norman. Now, the defense is healthy with Overton back.
Alabama will play Indiana in Pasadena, Calif., on Thursday, January 1, at 3 p.m. CT (ESPN).

Yet another week of NFL action has passed, and once again, it was a huge slate for Alabama Crimson Tide football.
A slate of games in which multiple teams clinched playoff berths, former Alabama players were back in action this past weekend at the professional level, with many going on to make significant impacts in their respective games. Some of those same names were also recently named to the 2026 Pro Bowl, only adding to what has been a solid overall season for the Crimson Tide in the NFL.
With the likes of Jalen Hurts, Malachi Moore, and Bryce Young among the names who also enjoyed a big week, here are five of Alabama’s top performing former players during Week 16 in the NFL.
The former Heisman Trophy winner was likely Alabama’s top offensive performance of Week 16, even despite losing a fumble in the Baltimore Ravens’ 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots. In all, Henry rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 18 attempts, translating to an average of 7.1 yards per carry.
In a week loaded with impressive defensive performances, there were likely none greater than that of Allen during a 16-13 win for the Minnesota Vikings over the New York Giants. Allen finished the game with eight total tackles, four of which were solo, along with one sack, two TFL, and one quarterback hit.
Another member of the Minnesota Vikings who made an impact in their 16-13 win over the New York Giants was the former Alabama kicker. Also making his lone extra point attempt, Reichard finished 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, a trio of makes that came from 43, 31, and 30 yards.
Battle enjoyed a huge performance during the Bengals’ 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins, leading Cincinnati with a total of 10 tackles. Of those 10 tackles, six from Battle were solo.
Rounding out Alabama’s top performances from NFL Week 16 was Humphrey, who enjoyed a solid showing despite the Baltimore Ravens’ 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots. Humphrey finished with six total tackles, all of which were solo, two pass defenses, and an interception.
