Alabama reserve cornerback Tony Brown remains suspended, Tide coach Nick Saban said during a conference call Monday.

Brown was sent home from Dallas last week after a violation of team rules, one day before Alabama played Michigan State in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

The decision to send Brown home was made after Brown started a fight with a teammate during practice, according to sources.

"Tony's suspended," Saban said. "And until we get any new information, he will continue to be suspended."

Brown has 16 tackles, two pass breakups and a forced fumbles this season.
