Sources: Tyler Booker and Jaheim Oatis Set to Play Against No. 15 Ole Miss

Alabama will return two of its biggest contributors in the trenches while two other injured players are likely to remain out.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The 13th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide is likely to return two of its most important players in the trenches for Saturday's game against No. 15 Ole Miss, sources tell BamaCentral.

After head coach Nick Saban called both "day-to-day" on Monday, offensive guard Tyler Booker and defensive tackle Jaheim Oatis are both set to play in the Crimson Tide's SEC West clash at Bryant-Denny Stadium, barring any setbacks.

Sources said that both Booker and Oatis have been full participants at practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, and neither used a black jersey — signifying an injured player — during Thursday's practice.

Booker (back spasms) and Oatis (ankle) both missed last weekend's slug fest in Tampa against USF. Booker was named a captain but didn't play after dressing in warmups. Oatis was seen walking around in a boot during pregame.

Defensive back DeVonta Smith is set to miss his fourth straight game with a foot injury. Offensive utility man Emmanuel Henderson Jr. is unlikely to play against the Rebels, but is more likely to play than Smith.
