Zabien Brown isn’t missing practice, but he’s also not 100%.
The freshman cornerback has a cast that looks like a club of sorts on his left hand/wrist. Alabama football defensive coordinator Kane Wommack provided an injury update on Tuesday.
“He’s limited,” Wommack said. “He’s on a bit of a pitch count and stuff right now. We expect him to be fully back and going in the next couple of days here.”
Brown is one of several corners competing for playing time with the top three corners from a season ago, Terrion Arnold, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Trey Amos, all gone. Brown started the A-Day game opposite Domani Jackson at cornerback, and Brown has drawn positive reviews so far.
“Zabien was so impressive to me coming right off the jump,” Wommack said. “To walk out of high school early as a mid year enrollee then to be able to play the way he has been playing from the spring time.”
Wommack said he has been most impressed by how the former five-star cornerback responds when he makes a mistake.
“He gets it corrected and I can’t think of a time I saw him make the next mistake again, that same mistake” Wommack said. “It’s been impressive the level he’s been able to do with that.”
