The suspension, however long it may last, will hurt the Tide heading into Fall Camp — Taylor was a starter at right guard last season, but was challenged by Saban this offseason to lose weight to regain his start at first string. We will continue to update this story as it develops. The Tide opens its 2016 season by facing the USC Trojans on Sept. 3 from AT&T Stadium.
