Alabama freshman Kaleb Edwards played a season-high 60 snaps, per Pro Football Focus, in Cuevas' place. Marshall Pritchett, Brody Dalton and Jay Lindsey also got playing time at tight end in Alabama's 27-20 win against Auburn.
Jam Miller injury update
DeBoer "still doesn't have much more information" on running back Jam Miller, who left Alabama's win against Auburn early with a lower leg injury.
"He will continue to go through his testing here early this week here today and tomorrow," DeBoer said.
Alabama was also without running back Kevin Riley against Auburn.

Dre Washington's ready and he can take reps in practice. We just got to keep plugging away with guys that are excited about their opportunity."
Alabama kicks off against Georgia at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6 on ABC.
