Lotzeir Brooks News, Rumors, Updates - Alabama Crimson Tide

Warming up as expected Brooks (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against East Carolina, Patrick Greenfield of AL.com reports.

Impact Brooks was expected to be available for Bama's season opener, so his participation in warmups supports the fact that he'll play. The 5-foot-9 wide receiver logged 32 receptions for 441 yards and two touchdowns last season. He's set to make an even bigger jump in his sophomore campaign.

Should be good to go for Week 1 Brooks (undisclosed) should be good to go for Alabama's season-opener Sept. 5 against East Carolina, Chris Low of On3.com reports.

Impact Despite missing two scrimmages, Brooks has made significant progress in his recovery, so much so that he is expected to be available for Week 1. While he is not out of the woods yet, he is probable for Alabama's season opener Sept. 5, providing a relatively easier game that would give him a head start to boost his statistical production. Brooks has a lot to deliver on, finishing his freshman season with 441 receiving yards and two touchdowns -- great stats but ones that he should be able to surpass if he is a top wideout for Alabama this season.

Close to full return Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said Brooks (undisclosed) is "close to full go" and taking reps, Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brooks was in a non-contact jersey for Monday's practice, but DeBoer's statement only reaffirms that the receiver should be healthy for Bama's season opener. The incoming sophomore posted 32 receptions for 441 yards and two touchdowns last season. He and position teammate Noah Rogers (leg) are expected to return fully at some point in the coming week.

Expected to return next week Brooks (undisclosed) missed Alabama's final scrimmage Thursday, but he is expected to return to practice sometime next week, Charlie Potter of On3.com reports.

Impact Head coach Kalen DeBoer spoke to the media after the scrimmage and was hopeful that both Brooks and EJ Crowell will rejoin the Crimson Tide on the practice field next week. Brooks previously dealt with a concussion prior to his current setback, but he will focus on recovering once again and look to return for the remainder of fall camp.

DNP at Thursday's practice Brooks (undisclosed) did not participate in Alabama's team scrimmage on Thursday, per Colin Gay of The Tuscaloosa News.

Impact Brooks recently returned to practice following an absence due to a concussion but appears to be suffering through another ailment. It's thus far unclear whether his current issue is related to his previous injury but his status will be worth monitoring moving forward.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice for Tide Brooks (concussion) has returned to practice for Alabama, per Colin Gay of TuscaloosaNews.com.

Impact Brooks has been working back from a concussion in the latter half of fall camp, but the wideout is a full practice participant once again after returning to positional drills Monday. That's big news for Alabama, as the wideout is a projected starter for the Crimson Tide who posted 32 catches for 441 yards and two touchdowns last season.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in positional drills Brooks (concussion) is participating in positional drills, Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brooks participating in Alabama's positional drills Monday indicates that the wide receiver is making at least some progress after missing the Tide's weekend scrimmage. Considering that he is expected to be a top wideout in 2026, the Tide would want him available against East Carolina in Week 1 to make it a lot easier for them to advance back up the college rankings. Last year saw Brooks impress with 32 receptions (on 51 targets) for 441 yards and two touchdowns.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with concussion Brooks (concussion) missed Alabama's scrimmage Thursday and is currently dealing with a concussion, per Charlie Potter of On3.com.

Impact Brooks suffered a concussion during one of Alabama's practices, causing him to miss the team's first scrimmage Thursday. Head coach Kalen DeBoer noted that the sophomore wideout will be sidelined for a few more practices to recover, but he is not expected to miss any games to begin the season. It's a minor setback for Brooks, who is poised to step into a starting role in the Crimson Tide's offense following a productive freshman campaign where he hauled in 32 receptions for 441 yards and two touchdowns.

Scores twice against OU Brooks accrued five receptions (on seven targets) for 79 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 34-24 win over Oklahoma.

Impact Brooks logged the first and second touchdowns of his college football career, coming out of nowhere to lead the Crimson Tide in receiving yards during the first round of the CFB playoffs. The 5-foot-9 freshman has made an immediate impact with the program, logging 32 receptions for 441 yards and two touchdowns across 12 games this fall. Brooks will look to remain a stable target for quarterback Ty Simpson as the Crimson Tide face off against the Hoosiers on Jan. 1.

Expected to be available Week 11 Brooks (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against LSU, Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact After multiple targets in each game since Week 1, when Florida State upset Alabama, Brooks logged zero stats during Week 9. He has been a crucial piece of Alabama's receiver corps, helping the team maintain an undefeated record since the Tide's first-week upset, so his probable status for Week 11 is welcome news for them. This season, despite zero touchdowns, Brooks has 16 receptions for 255 yards.

Doubtful to play Brooks is doubtful for Saturday's game against South Carolina.

Impact Brooks tied his season-high with six targets last week against Tennessee and turned that into three catches for 39 yards. It's unclear if he got banged up in the win or what exactly happened but he's trending in the wrong direction for Saturday. Rico Scott could see some additional run behind the Tide's top three wideouts if Brooks is unable to go.
