DeBoer says they’re “optimistic that [Jayvin James] can return this week.” Justin Hill and Desmond Umeozulu are not likely to return this week

“Desmond, he’s continued to work back, but he’ll likely not be ready for this week, and probably a couple more weeks yet,” DeBoer said. “Justin, just working back from his lower-extremity injury, he’ll be back this season, too, but more than likely not this week.”

Ryan Grubb on EJ Crowell: “EJ's still growing into the game plans. There's parts that are difficult at times to have him on the field when he doesn't have the whole offense down. But he's getting there, and he's fighting his tail off to learn.”

A look at the production of Alabama's front seven transfers

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Total snaps Tackles TFL Pressures Sacks
OUT
James Smith 17 40 14 71 4 1 1 0
Qua Russaw 0 36 23 59 3 1 2 0
Keon Keeley 17 15 9 41 3 0 1 0
Jordan Renaud 14 20 13 47 2 2 2 1

Devan Thompkins 20 56 47 123 12 3 10 3
Desmond Umeozulu 17 19 31 67 6 1 5 0
Kedrick Bingley-Jones 18 20 23 61 5 0 3 0
Terrance Green 14 30 40 84 5 3 2 2

The production is pretty stark. Devan Thompkins by himself has the same number of tackles as the four outgoing transfers combines, more pressures and sacks, and just one fewer tackle for loss. And that's just Thompkins. The other three incoming transfers are playing and producing as well.

Still early, but it's been a great swap so far.
