Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster was back practicing Wednesday after he wasn't present during the media viewing period on Tuesday.

Sporting a black non-contact jersey, Foster took part in drills with the other inside linebackers during the open portion of practice and then worked with the first-team nickel defense.

Foster suffered a concussion during Saturday's win over Arkansas.

Here are other notes from the media viewing period on Wednesday:

-- Right guard Alphonse Taylor wasn't present during the open portion of practice for a second straight day. Like Foster, Taylor sustained a concussion against Arkansas. Lester Cotton was the first-team right guard with Taylor absent.

-- Running back Joshua Jacobs had what looked like either a large sleeve or a lot of tape on his injured right elbow. Jacobs injured the elbow against Arkansas, but was later cleared to return to the game.

-- It looks like freshman wide receiver Trevon Diggs no longer needs the knee brace he wore the final part of last week. He's been without the brace each of the last three days during the media viewing periods.
