MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – Alabama coach Nick Saban is expected to address the media Monday after two Crimson Tide players were arrested in separate cases over the weekend.
Both defensive back Geno Smith and defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor have been in legal trouble before.
Smith was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol for the second time in his career. Taylor’s case is potentially even more of a problem for the program.
The player signed with the Tide months after his dismissal from Georgia and was arrested Saturday for similar allegations of domestic abuse. The case in Georgia is still pending.
Saban has kicked Taylor off the team, saying the player knew he was signed under a “zero tolerance policy.”
