The practice tweets are rolling in, so here's your rundown so far:
From Estes up there, some more fall experimentation is on with Michael Bowman working at TE and Corey Grant moving from RB to corner. Bowman growing out of a WR and into a TE has been a hot rumor since spring , so that's a pretty interesting development. Grant to corner, on the other hand, is a little unnerving (recruited as an RB but promised a shot at WR, kid just needs the ball in his hands) but likely has more to do with the continuing depth and injury issues right now. On that note:
Blake Sims (foot) and DeMarcus Milliner (ankle) were in black jerseys, while Robert Lester (concussion) and DeQuan Menzie (hamstring) worked as normal.
CecilHurt reports that Saban was coaching the DBs "vocally." I would imagine so.
Finally, Estes also reports that Kerry Murphy appeared to be working with the 1st group at NT.

I don’t pretend to know why they would move Chapman around between “personnel groupings”, but I’m going to assume that this is just a case of Saban “not having a depth chart” right now? Or is something wrong with Chapman (please, God, no).
That's what I was thinking
Especially on defense, it seems that there isn’t really a depth chart as it were, and I would expect to see these 2 sharing reps a lot in games.

Saban has always rotated defensive linemen...
That’s why I never understood how Dareus would be a “breakout” player on the basis that he only started 4 games last season. Well, he may have not started every game, but he did play a lot. This also includes Chapman, Davis, etc.

Look at that dude going all Dareus on that colt.

Yeah, Chapman probably played nearly as many downs as Cody last season,
but I would think they’d tend to keep the groupings together in practice. But what do I know? Maybe not.
Murphy has a lot of athletic ability...
So I guess he’ll just fit into the rotation with Chapman.
Fumbles. It was always Fumbles
