Following his suspension prior to Alabama's 38-0 Cotton Bowl win over Michigan State, Crimson Tide defensive back Tony Brown's future with the team remained uncertain. Tuesday, his head coach Nick Saban revealed Brown is still on the team but may face future consequences.

Brown is alleged to have gotten in a fight with his teammates during Cotton Bowl practice. Saban spoke to reporters in Mobile, Alabama during the 2016 Senior Bowl practice to reveal Brown's status with the team.

"He's back with the team right now," Saban said, "but he is facing some future suspensions."

Sophomore Brown was a five-star recruit in 2014 and was ranked among the top overall prospects in the nation before signing with the Tide. In two seasons of play, Brown has only recorded 25 tackles and defended three passes.
