Alabama’s players and coaches returned to the practice field for the team’s third practice of fall camp Saturday. The Crimson Tide practiced outdoors and in shoulder pads for the first time on a sunny, 93-degree afternoon.

Here are several tidbits from the media viewing portion of Alabama's Saturday practice session in Tuscaloosa:

- The first offensive line we saw go through drills yesterday was the same one on the field during the two media viewing periods Saturday. From left to right: Cam Robinson, Lester Cotton, Ross Pierschbacher, Bradley Bozeman and true freshman Jonah Williams.

- The same can be said for the second group of O-linemen, which consisted of Matt Womack, Dallas Warmack, JC Hassenauer, Alphonse Taylor and Korren Kirven.

- Their counterparts, the defensive linemen, worked on a variety of drills, which were led by Jonathan Allen, Da'Ron Payne and Dalvin Tomlinson. Da'Shawn Hand, Josh Frazier and Johnny Dwight.

- Newly-enrolled junior college transfer Jamar King appeared to be taking things easy and was jogging alongside his D-line teammates as they were progressing through individual drills with first-year coach Karl Dunbar.

- The first four tight ends in blocking and receiving drills were the same four we saw in the spring: O.J. Howard, Hale Hentges, Brandon Greene and Miller Forristall. Howard looks to have added good weight this offseason.

- Recently-enrolled freshman tight end Irvin Smith was behind the first four and wearing No. 82, and he, like Howard, looks like a veteran player on the practice field. He is listed at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds on the roster.

- In the defensive backfield, there was a lot of mixing and matching with the cornerbacks during drills with Nick Saban. Outside of the first two guys, Marlon Humphrey and Minkah Fitzpatrick, there was not a consistent pair in the reps I watched Saturday. At one point, however, redshirt freshman Kendall Sheffield was working behind Humphrey and Fitzpatrick.

- During pass-catching drills, the safety line was comprised of Eddie Jackson, Laurence Jones, Tony Brown, Ronnie Harrison and Deionte Thompson. Like the quarterbacks, the safety line was constructed by seniority, but it is a safe bet that Harrison, who was the team’s starter at Money a season ago, will not be that far back in line throughout the rest of practice.

- NFL scouts from the Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns watched Saturday’s practice.

*** What’s next: Saban, Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt will speak to the media tomorrow morning before the team’s annual Fan Day and open practice at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
