Alabama tailback Mark Ingram has missed another practice ahead of the Penn State game. Ingram didn’t practice Tuesday with a left knee injury that kept the Heisman Trophy winner out of the top-ranked Crimson Tide’s opener against San Jose State.
Coach Nick Saban said Monday that Ingram’s status would depend on how he progressed daily in his rehab. He said in order for him to put his star into the game against the 19th-ranked Nittany Lions, he had to “see Mark Ingram being Mark Ingram.”
His replacement, Trent Richardson, said Ingram did watch some of practice from the sideline. He isn’t giving up on the junior returning for Saturday night’s game.
“I don’t know when he’ll be back, but hopefully it’ll be for Saturday,” he said. “We’re better with him in there.”
