Charlie Potter of 247 Sports reported that Alabama’s true freshman nose tackle, DJ Dale, will not be playing in the 2019 Iron Bowl at Jordan Hare stadium as he did not travel with the team.
Nick Saban told Eli Gold that DJ Dale (knee) did not travel, so he won't play today against Auburn.
"I think everybody else has a chance to play in the game."

His knee injury is to blame for him not making the trip to Auburn.
Dale has played in six games in the 2019 season where he has accumulated 17 total tackles, a lone sack and a fumble recovery.
His absence won’t be a huge loss for the Alabama defensive front, and as Potter reported, Saban believes “everybody else has a chance to play in this game.
