All week, Alabama was cautious with the status of starting tight end Josh Cuevas, who suffered a lower-body injury during practice leading up to Alabama's 56-0 victory over Eastern Illinois. Cuevas has missed the last three games for Alabama, but will be available for the Tide against Oklahoma. ESPN's Pete Thamel reported on College Gameday that Cuevas "would play 100%" of Alabama's snaps on Friday night. While it is highly unlikely that Cuevas will play 100% of snaps, Thamel's report indicates that Cuevas won't be on a snap count against the Sooners. However, Cuevas is listed as a "game-time decision" according to the gameday availability report, provided by the CFP.

Additionally, reserve tight end Danny Lewis Jr. will be a game-time decision for the Crimson Tide. He's battled injury all season and has only caught two passes for 17 yards on the season. Both of his catches came against the Missouri Tigers.

Oklahoma starting center Jake Maikkula is out after being downgraded to doubtful on Thursday night.
