Alabama practiced Thursday afternoon, working inside on a rainy day in Tuscaloosa.

Here are some notes from the media viewing period:

— I didn’t see running back Josh Jacobs out there. UPDATE (7:34) Jacobs had an excused absence, according to a source.

— Outside linebacker Christian Miller (pulled hamstring) was again dressed and present for practice but was standing off to the side during the outside linebackers drills I saw.

— Dylan Moses went through pass rush drills with the outside linebackers.

— Lester Cotton continues to work as the first-team left guard.
