Alabama already had a reserve running back transfer this offseason. Now, another member of the backfield is in trouble.

Tyren Jones was suspended indefinitely Tuesday for "conduct not to the standard of the Alabama football program," coach Nick Saban said in a statement from UA media relations.

Details as to the nature of the action that led to the suspension are not yet available. AL.com will update as needed.

Jones was the Tide's fourth-leading rusher last fall with 224 yards on 36 carries. He was held away from the practice field for a week in the fall for disciplinary reasons as well.

"If Tyren Jones does what he's supposed to, maybe he'll be back sometime soon," Saban said Oct. 28.

Altee Tenpenny, who was a member of the 2013 along with Jones, transferred in January. Alabama returns leading rusher Derrick Henry (172 carries, 990 yards) and Kenyan Drake, a rising senior who was injured a month into the 2014 season. The Tide also adds former five-star recruit Bo Scarbrough who enrolled in January.

Jones, a Marietta, Ga., product, was a four-star prospect and U.S. Army All-American before arriving at Alabama. He redshirted his freshman year before seeing reserve action in 2014.
