Alabama Football: Crimson Tide in the NFL (Week 5)

Week 5 is behind us with the conclusion of Monday Night Football, lets look back and see how your favorite Crimson Tide players did!

News and Notes

Midst his resurgence in the NFL, only a groin injury has seemingly slowed Dallas Cowboys LB Rolando McClain down. McClain re-aggravated the Week 1 injury late in the 4th quarter against the Texans and is questionable for Week 6.

Baltimore Ravens DT Terrence Cody, New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram, Philadelphia Eagles OG Evan Mathis, and Cincinnati Bengals QB AJ McCarron are all expected to be evaluated for their eligibility after the conclusion of week 6.
