"We're expecting him to play," DeBoer said Monday.
Proctor was held out for the first two games of the 2024 season after sustaining a shoulder injury during warm-ups before the season opener against Western Kentucky .
Proctor was the Crimson Tide's starting left tackle for the remainder of the 2024 regular season, allowing two sacks, seven hurries and 11 pressures on 606 snaps per Pro Football Focus.
Wilkin Formby, who started each of the first two games of the 2024 season at right tackle, would likely have been in line for the ReliaQuest Bowl start.
Elijah Pritchett started at left tackle against Western Kentucky. Tyler Booker started for Alabama at left tackle against South Florida , with Geno VanDeMark starting at left guard.
