TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — No. 8 Alabama’s right tackle D.J. Fluker could miss the Tennessee game.

Coach Nick Saban said Monday that Fluker is “very questionable” for Saturday. He sat out the Mississippi game with a pulled groin and was replaced by Alfred McCullough.

Saban also said cornerbacks DeQuan Menzie and DeMarcus Milliner, linebacker Courtney Upshaw and tailback Eddie Lacy would be limited in practice to start the week.

Saban says wide receiver Julio Jones is fine and won’t be limited in practice this week.

Jones had surgery on a broken hand last week and sat out the second half against Mississippi. Saban says an X-ray didn’t show further damage but a ball hit his index finger and stretched the stitches.
