Tracking Alabama Crimson Tide Players in Super Bowl LVII: Bama in the NFL
If you're an Alabama Crimson Tide fan, you're probably rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
They have four active former Crimson Tide players on the roster, while the Kansas City Chiefs are one of the few NFL teams that don't have anyone from Alabama.
Left guard Landon Dickerson is the lone former Alabama player on the Eagles who is dealing with an injury.
Per the team pool report by the Football Writers Association of America, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni put his team through a 70-minute, up-tempo walkthrough Wednesday morning, a session that mimicked the structure and intensity of a typical midweek practice.
All 53 players on the active roster participated, including cornerback Avonte Maddox, who missed time late in the regular-season with a toe injury, and Dickerson, who suffered an elbow injury in the NFC Championship Game win over the 49ers.
Maddox, Johnson (groin/rest) and interior offensive lineman Cam Jurgens (hip/rest) were listed as limited participants; they were joined on the Eagles’ initial injury report by Dickerson, and defensive end Robert Quinn (foot), who were listed as full participants. One other notable practice participant was punter Arryn Siposs, who suffered a lower leg injury in December. He remains on the Eagles’ injured reserve list, but the team cleared him to resume practicing last week.
Sirianni tried to to keep things as normal as possible for his team as it began its on-field workin Arizona – all the way down to the musical playlist. Last week, before the team traveled, veteran right tackle Lane Johnson sang Creed’s “Arms Wide Open” at the start of a practice, so Wednesday morning, he texted Sirianni with a specific request for more Creed.
“I don’t know if he thinks I’m the DJ or what, but I guess he knows I can get things done,” Sirianni said, laughing.
Sirianni delivered, and Creed's "My Sacrifice" was the first song to blare through the speakers at the Arizona Cardinals' practice facility. The playlist – which quickly shifted away from alternative rock to current rap hits – was just part of Sirianni’s plan to make Arizona feel like home.
