Which Alabama football players will miss 2026 spring practice?

Kalen DeBoer shared that Alabama football will be without a handful of players fighting for key roles ahead of the 2026 season.

Alabama linebacker Jah-Marien Latham is out for the spring as he recovers from a 2025 neck injury. Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack confirmed Latham’s return to the Crimson Tide to The Tuscaloosa News in January. Alabama will also be without defensive lineman London Simmons and offensive lineman William Sanders in the spring.

Reigning first-team All-SEC safety Bray Hubbard, DeBoer said, will be “limited contact.”

DeBoer said there’s “nothing new, nothing new that’s happened in practice the first couple days.” And when it comes to A-Day and Alabama’s ability to “put on a good show” and actually scrimmage after two position groups were ravaged in 2025, DeBoer said “we’re in a different spot this year.”

“We really haven’t talked about it as a team, we’re really just focused on what’s next,” DeBoer said. “We’d love to get out there and have some fun, practice and get better, scrimmage, that’s kind of the expectation we have for that day. Hopefully nothing crazy happens, but that’s what I would expect for A-Day.”

Alabama will end its 2026 spring practice schedule Saturday, April 11 with A-Day. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT.
