During his first media availability of spring practice Tuesday afternoon, Alabama Crimson Tide football head coach Kalen DeBoer took a moment to update the status of a few injured players, in particular which names would not be available for the next couple of weeks.

Among those was a returning starter from last season on defense, as well as a few others who will likely play some prominent roles for the Crimson Tide in 2026.

"There's some guys that are still limited, or out, really going back to the season," DeBoer said. "Nothing new that's happened in practice the first couple of days."

"(Jah-Marien) Latham will be out for the spring. Bray (Hubbard) will be limited contact coming off his stuff from the fall. London Simmons will be out for the spring. Will Sanders will be out for the spring."

Hubbard is likely the most notable name of those four, as the senior safety is a returning starter who ranked third among Alabama's top tacklers a year ago with 79 total, as well as with a team-high 50 solo. The returning safety also led the SEC a year ago with four interceptions.

Latham, a graduate student linebacker, missed a vast majority of last season due to an injury, and is expected to play a role in Alabama's front seven when healthy, as is Simmons, a sophomore defensive tackle who had 19 tackles and 1.5 sacks as a freshman.

Sanders is a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman who is likely set to compete for one of the starting guard spots this offseason.

Alabama's spring practice will take place over the next couple of weeks, culminating with 2026 A-Day inside Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, April 11 at 1 p.m. CT.
