TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama sophomore defensive back Daniel Wright was not seen at the Crimson Tide’s Wednesday practice, so afterward, Nick Saban provided an update on the safety.

“He’s suspended from the team for a violation of team rules,” Saban said in a press conference.

Wright played in all 14 of Alabama’s games a year ago as a true freshman and looked to build on that experience as a sophomore in 2018. But the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native sustained a shoulder injury in the preseason that was thought to be serious. He was able to overcome that, however, and totaled eight tackles with two pass breakups through four games of action this season.

How long it will be before he sees the field now remains unclear.

Wright was a 4-star prospect in the 2017 recruiting cycle, per the 247Sports Composite. He was the No. 16-rated safety, No. 22 player in the state of Florida and No. 122 overall prospect.

At Wednesday’s practice, Alabama worked on its dime defense -- where Wright is usually the second-team safety. The second dime group was made up of Josh Jobe and Nigel Knott at corner, Kyriq McDonald and D.J. Lewis in the slot, Jared Mayden and Keaton Anderson (with Eddie Smith shadowing him) at safety and Markail Benton at inside linebacker.

Earlier in the day Wednesday, Saban also gave an update on junior left tackle Jonah Williams (ankle), who had not participated in the previous two practices of preparation for Arkansas.

“He’s going to practice today and we’ll see how it goes after that,” Saban said on the SEC teleconference. “We think he’ll be able to play in the game, but it’s probably a little bit of a question mark right now.”

When Williams was not at practice earlier in the week, redshirt junior Matt Womack took reps with the first-team offensive line at left tackle. Saban was asked about Womack after Wednesday’s practice.

“I think it's a little bit of a work in progress,” Saban said. “We feel really comfortable that we have three tackles. We feel comfortable that we have three guards. We feel pretty good about the backup center. The backup center has been playing left tackle, played it in the last game, as well -- Chris Owens.

“Obviously, he’s a guy that started a whole season and comes back off injury and you feel good about it. We’ve got four guys on defense that would be in the two-deep that are basically out for the year for whatever reason. That’s not a good thing for the depth of our team. To be able to get a guy back like Matt right now is really good for the depth of our team and our offensive line.”

Alabama will travel to face the Razorbacks on Saturday, Oct. 6, at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
