Suspended defensive linemen Brandon Ivory and Jarran Reed were back at practice Thursday, as Alabama went indoors for its seventh consecutive practiced of fall camp. Ivory and Reed worked in helmets and shorts as their teammates dressed in full pads.

Ivory and Reed returned to practice after having been suspended.

It was the first practice for both Ivory and Reed, as they have been suspended since the start of fall camp. They provide the Crimson Tide with even more depth along the defensive line, which is still without sophomore A'Shawn Robinson. Robinson missed his third practice. Nick Saban will likely address his absence at his post-practice press conference.

Linebacker Tim Williams is the third suspended Crimson Tide player, but Williams was not spotted at Thursday's practice.

Fowler leads H-backs

Jalston Fowler gave Alabama an extra blocker and redzone weapon last season, and he will look to continue that trend in 2014. Fowler led the H-backs through individual drills Thursday, alongside the Crimson Tide's running backs.

Fowler was out in front, followed by Corey McCarron and Michael Nysewander.

As for the running backs, T.J Yeldon still led the pack with Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake behind him. Tyren Jones, Altee Tenpenny and a walk-on wearing No. 43 rounded out the rest of the tailbacks at practice.

Other notes from practice:

- Eddie Jackson continues to look sharp out on the practice field. He was sporting a crimson jersey and a knee brace, but neither the brace, nor the injury he sustained in the spring, has held him back during practices.

- The same five offensive linemen -- Cam Robinson, Arie Kouandjio, Ryan Kelly, Alphonse Taylor and Austin Shepherd -- lined up as what appeared to be the first group. Behind them today was Brandon Greene, Isaac Luatua, Bradley Bozeman, Dominick Jackson and Grant Hill.

- Crimson Tide announcer Eli Gold watched practice from the sidelines today.

Saban will hold a press conference after practice. Shepherd, DeAndrew White and Reggie Ragland will talk with the media following the head coach.
