Kane Wommack updates status of injured Alabama defensive back
As part of this, Wommack, who is entering his second season as defensive coordinator at Alabama, commented on many different areas of the Crimson Tide defense, some of which were players.
Among that group of players in particular was returning safety Keon Sabb, who is currently working his way back from a season-ending injury sustained last October against Tennessee.
Wommack was also asked the question if Sabb has since returned to 100% following Saturday's practice as well, with the Alabama defensive coordinator saying of the returning starter:
"Keon's doing a really good job," Wommack said. "He has really pushed, our training staff's done a great job with him. I think he's ahead of really every marker that we had in the offseason for him, and we weren't sure if he was going to be able to go to the level that he's going right now at the beginning of fall camp, but he is, and he's here. I don't know if I could put a number on it exactly, but I mean, he's out there playing with our guys, and so he's comfortable enough to be able to do that. Sometimes, those injuries, you just have to build a callous of coming back, and I think that's something that he's really pushing himself right now to get ready for the season."
Transferring from Michigan last offseason, Sabb was a day-one starter for the Crimson Tide at safety a year ago who compiled 39 tackles and 0.5 TFL across his seven games played. Sabb also had two interceptions, both of which came in the season opener against Western Kentucky.
Sabb, a redshirt junior, is expected the start for the Crimson Tide at safety once again this fall, opposite of Bray Hubbard.

Real Madrid prodigy disappointed by club's shirt number decision
Real Madrid's young star Endrick is reportedly upset after the club decided not to hand him the iconic number 9 shirt. As per reports from SPORT, the decision has not gone down well with the Brazilian, who feels sidelined even before the season has fully kicked off. Although it is not officially confirmed yet, strong reports from multiple sources indicate that Real Madrid have chosen Gonzalo Garcia to wear the number 9 shirt for the upcoming season. This move has surprised many fans, not because Gonzalo is undeserving, but because it sends a strong message regarding Endrick's place in the squad. Decision after a strong performance Gonzalo earned plenty of praise after his strong performances during the Club World Cup, which seemed to have played a big part in the club's decision. However, it also suggests that Endrick is being seen as a secondary option—just like last season. According to journalist Alberto Pereiro, Endrick was visibly frustrated when the decision was shared in the locker room. Pereiro revealed, Endrick is not happy with the decision. (Photo by) 'I was told that Endrick's expression in the dressing room wasn't the best. The thing is, to make one person happy, you have to make another person unhappy. 'Madrid has insisted that Endrick leave for another club, and he keeps saying no. No and no… And I think it's a conversation we'll have to have again in January,' said Pereiro. A challenging season ahead for Endrick At the moment, Endrick finds himself behind both Kylian Mbappe and Gonzalo in the pecking order, which likely means fewer minutes on the pitch. Earlier hopes that a new manager like Xabi Alonso might change things have been dashed, especially after Endrick's recent injury setback. In Mbappe's absence, Gonzalo stepped up and performed well enough to earn a permanent role in the squad. This development leaves Endrick in a tough spot, with his future at the club becoming more uncertain as the season approaches. A crucial conversation about his role could now be on the cards in January.
