Alabama's Tony Brown to return from suspension vs. Kentucky

Alabama defensive back Tony Brown will return from a four-game NCAA suspension Saturday against Kentucky, head coach Nick Saban told reporters.

Saban's announcement confirms a report from the summer that said Brown's initial six-game suspension had been knocked down to four.

The reason for Brown's punishment was never stated.

Brown, a former five-star recruit, played mostly on special teams as a sophomore last year.
