McElroy back on field

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Chinstrap buckled tight, Greg McElroy went through the ritualistic routine of Alabama football practice Thursday afternoon.

There again was life in the eyes peeking out from the helmet that couldn’t do much to help the senior quarterback three weeks ago.

Blindsided and body slammed by Auburn’s T’Sharvan Bell, who perfectly timed the snap as the play clock was running out, McElroy was left on the cold Bryant-Denny Stadium turf with a dazed look, a bleeding nose and a concussion.
