Alabama football showcased a clearer picture of who will take the field for the first College Football Playoff game of the Kalen DeBoer era.

In the Crimson Tide’s initial CFP injury report released Tuesday, Dec. 16, running back Jam Miller is not listed after missing the SEC Championship Game against Georgia.

Miller led Alabama running back drills in the open practice period Monday, Dec. 15. DeBoer said Miller is “making good progress” while offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said Miller is “ready to contribute” against Oklahoma.

Josh Cuevas is listed as questionable along with tight end Danny Lewis Jr.

Cuevas warmed up with the Crimson Tide on Monday but did not participate in position drills. DeBoer said Cuevas was “making some progress” and that he was “optimistic” the tight end would return against the Sooners. Grubb said he’s “excited to have (Cuevas) back out there.” Cuevas has not played since the Crimson Tide’s last loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 15.

LT Overton, who was not seen during the Crimson Tide’s open practice periods Monday and was described as “doubtful” for the first-round matchup with Oklahoma by DeBoer, is out.

Alabama running back Kevin Riley is also listed as out.

Alabama kicks off against Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 19 on ABC.
