Jaylen Waddle already looking ‘really good’ in return to Alabama

Jaylen Waddle

Could Jaylen Waddle actually play and make an impact in Monday’s National Championship Game? That possibility doesn’t seem out of the question.

Waddle returned to practice for Alabama on Tuesday. The star wide receiver suffered a major ankle injury returning the opening kickoff against Tennessee on Oct. 24. There was talk in November that Waddle could return if Alabama made the College Football Playoff, and now the time has come.

Alabama quarterback Mac Jones said on Wednesday that Waddle looked “really good” at the team’s practice a day earlier.

Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian wasn’t tipping his hand about possible involvement from Waddle.

Waddle, a junior, had 25 catches for 557 yards and four touchdowns prior to his injury. His absence led the Tide to rely on DeVonta Smith more, which helped the receiver win the Heisman Trophy.
