Nick Saban unsure of Cam Robinson’s playing status

Just a few weeks ago, Alabama star offensive tackle Cam Robinson was arrested on a felony charge of possession of a stolen firearm. Right now, head coach Nick Saban is still unsure of if he will be able to play going into the 2016 season.

Saban spoke with ESPN on Thursday and he said that he is going to allow the legal system to play out before he makes a decision on Robinson’s future for this year. However, it certainly seems he hasn’t closed the door on Robinson being on the field this year.

“It’s the first time Cam has ever had an issue or a problem,” Saban said. “We’re handling it and managing it internally, and making him do things to hopefully change his behavior. I’m waiting to see how this whole legal thing plays out, because it’s not really what it seems to be.”

If Cam Robinson isn’t given jail time this year, it would still be hard to believe that he wouldn’t face some kind of punishment from Alabama. It is going to be interesting to see what happens with arguably one of the top offensive linemen in the country.
