Breaking News: LBs Miller , Lewis, and Wilson All Back At Practice Today

I think they kept it secret for a while.. From what I've read on other board.. Miller and Lewis had been practicing for a while...
Best part about Lewis and Miller is that.. we don't need them to play all snaps... just do 10 snaps and they'll affect the QB easily. Having Mack is huge... Mack wouldn't have to play a lot if moses does well. The chance of beating Auburn went up from 50 percent to 75 percent.
I hope they are ready to roll, but if they're not 100% I wouldn't play them.
It's kind of like the Clemson Quarterback against Syracuse. Their fans were thrilled that he could play, "Even if he wasn't 100%".
After the game almost everyone was saying, I can't believe Dabo put that kid in that position".
We've got players like Dylan Moses who are more than capable of stepping up, but hey, if the other guys are truly ready to return then Roll Tide Roll! And thank goodness!

No one on any team is 100% at this point in the season. If they are cleared, they should play - just like every other player who is going to take the field for every other team across the country.
Didn’t Mack break his foot only a month ago? I know these guys are elite athletes but a month seems mighty quick to come back from a break. Anyone know if that’s standard recovery time for the type of injury Mack had?
Depends on the bone and person...and all these athletes are kinda freakish genetically AND they're getting the best medical care possible.
So funny, I got a haircut today at lunchtime and my barber (big Bama fan) says "Well I heard the Wilson kid is probably going to play" and I was like "nah, maybe Miller but not Wilson and probably not Lewis." I'm going to call him Nostradamus next time I go in. I've never been so happy to be so wrong!
I've not seen many details on his foot injury at all. Yes, it seems soon, but a broken bone in a foot covers a wide range of possibilities and he has access to treatment and training that the average person probably wouldn't. I certainly don't expect him to play anything like every down, if any at all.
Well he had surgery on it, which probably means a plate and screws. It's probably stable enough, now it's just a matter of pain tolerance I figure. Remember Julio had a broken hand requiring surgery and never missed a game. :eek2:
I tend to think that Lewis and Miller will probably just be rotational players if they do play. Could make a huge difference because we've been sore for OLB depth and it has kinda showed up in the sack numbers from that position this season. Also, my guess would be that Wilson would be a spell player for what has become a very thin ILB rotation (3 players for 2 positions w/o Wilson).
Fully healthy, Mack Wilson is better than Dylan Moses. But is Dylan Moses at 100% better or worse at this point in his maturation than a dinged-up Mack Wilson?
Will they take the redshirt off Miller and Lewis? If so, can either or both shake off enough rust to be better than the guys who have been filling in for 2.5 months?
I don't know if any or all of Miller, Lewis, or Wilson will play.
If one or more do, I don't know how effective they can be vs. their fully healthy backups. But it looks like we're about to find out, and at least the option is out there.

Thanks, I remember when it happened that based on what Saban said that we probably wouldn’t have him back until the playoffs or bowl season. Just couldn’t recall the details of the recovery timeline. So if he plays it would be about a 3 week recovery instead of 4-6. Sounds reasonable..
If Miller and Lewis play Saturday and continue to play out the year. They will have competed in 4-5 games and not be eligible for a redshirt. I think the most they could play in is 3-4. Not sure exactly what the % is.
I agree 100 pct! I'm thinkin they could play more than 10 snaps but definitely limited snaps regardless. Like you said, either of those guys could affect the game on one snap. This would be huge for the team and the players in question if they can play at least 3 games maybe 4 and make plays for the defense. I'm getting excited just thinking about it! Roll Tide!
