Alabama's Dazon Ingram: Cleared for practice following foot surgery

Ingram (foot) has been cleared to begin practicing, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Analysis:

Ingram underwent foot surgery in December that forced him to miss the rest of the season, but coach Avery Johnson does not believe the ailment will affect his practice status. As a freshman, Ingram had been earning 26 minutes per game through the season's first seven contests, and should have a role in the Tide's backcourt during his sophomore campaign.
