The practice routine rolled on Friday afternoon for the fifth workout of the week in Tuscaloosa.

A few notes from the outdoor practice in advance of the Jan. 1 Citrus Bowl game with Michigan.

-- The sharp eye of Charlie Potter at BamaOnline saw starting offensive lineman Deonte Brown go down in the second period of viewing. Head athletic trainer Jeff Allen attended to him and the run-blocking specialist walked off the field “gingerly,” according to BamaOnline.

-- Defensive end LaBryan Ray was on the field again in a black non-contact jersey. He hasn’t played in a game since Week 3 against South Carolina with a foot injury. Nick Saban hasn’t updated his status in a while.

-- With CB Trevon Diggs and OLB Terrell Lewis missing the bowl game, a few younger players will get an opportunity to audition for next year. At cornerback, Josh Jobe is getting the first-team reps while Chris Allen figures to get the nod on the edge.

-- Starting CB Patrick Surtain likes what he’s seen from Jobe in practice this week. “He’s handling it well,” Surtain said Friday morning. “He’s brought a lot of fire to the defense when he’s on the field. It’s not new to him, he’s been out there before. I expect nothing less than great from him.”

-- Defensive back Scooby Carter has not been spotted this week in practice. The Tide has two more workouts Saturday and Sunday before breaking for Christmas.

-- Early enrollee defensive back Jahquez Robinson was at practice for a second straight day but was still in the acclimation period, so no full pads.

-- Tua Tagovailoa is expected to be with the team when they travel to Orlando for the game. He was spotted on a cart, scooting around the practice field Friday.
