With a heat advisory in Tuscaloosa, it made sense that Alabama went indoors for its Tuesday afternoon practice. The feels-like temperature at 3:15 p.m. CT was 111 degrees.

A few notes from what we observed in the media viewing period:

-- Offensive lineman Matt Womack was back working in the drills after being spotted off to the side in the last few practices. He was working beside first-team right tackle Jedrick Wills.

-- The first wave of offensive lineman had Emil Ekiyor Jr., at center and Evan Neal at left guard next to Alex Leatherwood.

-- Freshman OL Pierce Quick was spotted in the hallway wearing a walking boot and was not on the field.

-- Tackle Tommy Brown, who was on the receiving end of Terrell Lewis’ first pass rush attempt Saturday, is totally fine. He was working as the second-team right tackle with FSU grad transfer Landon Dickerson next to him at guard. Dickerson had been running with the first group when Womack was injured.

-- It was difficult to see the defensive line but DJ Dale was again not spotted as he works back from a minor knee injury.

-- Chadarius Townsend was again working with the running backs. It’s safe to assume he’ll be there for the foreseeable future after Trey Sanders’ foot injury.

-- Radio announcer Eli Gold was watching the action from the sideline. From a brief conversation, it sounds like fellow broadcaster Chris Stewart is doing well after having bypass surgery Monday.

-- It’s also worth noting there’s a new field turf surface in the indoor practice facility this year. The new stuff looks considerably sturdier than that last batch, which is important in the injury prevention battle.

-- Any official updates on injuries from Saban would come Thursday evening at his next scheduled news conference.
