Miller, who was listed as questionable on Wednesday night with a concussion he suffered in Saturday's 27-24 victory over the Missouri Tigers, was upgraded to 'probable' on Thursday night, indicating he is progressing through the concussion protocol and, barring a setback, should play on Saturday against the Volunteers.

Miller has only played in three games for Alabama this season after dislocating his collarbone during Alabama's second scrimmage of fall camp. Despite only playing three games so far this season, he's carried the ball 58 times for 267 yards and a touchdown. His 267 yards leads Alabama in rushing so far this season.

Elsewhere on the availability report, Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Mbakwe is listed as 'probable' after suffering a hand injury in practice last week, per head coach Kalen DeBoer. Barring a setback, Mbakwe should be available on Saturday.

Tight end Danny Lewis Jr. popped up on the availability report on Thursday night, being listed as 'questionable.' Lewis has battled injury this season, but he hauled in two catches for 17 yards against the Missouri Tigers on Saturday.
