Open the Youtube video Alabama held its first practice of SEC Championship Game week on Tuesday. The Crimson Tide players worked for two hours in full pads in the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility. Tuesday’s work started at 9:25 a.

Alabama was without receivers coach JaMarcus Shephard during Tuesday’s practice, as the recently-named Oregon State head coach was out West for his introductory press conference with his new team.  Shephard will be back with the Crimson Tide for the rest of the week,
