Nick Saban still hasn’t made any official announcement regarding Alabama freshman kicker Will Reichard’s availability for Saturday’s game against Tennessee.

As Saban has continued to say the last couple weeks, Reichard remains “day-to-day.”

Reichard — who may end up getting back to punting when healthy in addition to kicking — punted some in practice Tuesday and kicked some Wednesday.

“It’s kind of like doc told me when I was coming off my hip surgery," Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. "He said, ‘It’s great to do the rehab, your work. I know all your life you’ve been taught to push, push, push, push, keep working. When it hurts, you work through it.' But he said, “For one time in your life when you’re hurt, when it hurts, you gotta stop.’ And that’s kind of how we got to manage this injury with him. If it hurts, we got to stop. We got to make sure that he continues to make progress and we don’t have a setback. And I think so far we’ve been able to do that. So we’ll just see how it progresses day to day.”

Reichard returned to practice last week.

Saban had initially expressed optimism that Reichard would be available against Texas A&M on Saturday, but Joseph Bulovas ended up handling the kicking while Skyler DeLong continued to handle the punting.
