Duron Carter is not likely to play this season and barring an unforeseen development will likely redshirt, Alabama coach Nick Saban said Wednesday.

"There's one piece of information we did not receive and have not ever received, and may not ever receive," Saban said. "So as of right now he has to be here a year in residence to be eligible. So, he'll still have two years to play after that, but as of right now it doesn't look like he will be eligible for this season."
