By
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson said his injured left ankle recovered faster than he expected and didn&#39;t limit him in practice on Tuesday.<br> <br> Coach Mike Shula said he also expects receiver Keith Brown to return Saturday against Mississippi State after missing the past two games with a left knee injury.<br> <br> Wilson said he went through a normal practice and his mobility wasn&#39;t affected.<br> <br> ``I did a bunch of sprintouts and rollouts, and I felt really good,&#39;&#39; he said. ``I didn&#39;t expect it to feel this good.<br> <br> ``Come Saturday, it&#39;ll be fine,&#39;&#39; Wilson said.<br> <br> Wilson aggravated an earlier injury on the final drive of the first half of a 38-3 victory over Florida International when he was hit while making a short pass. He returned in the second half, but only played two series with Alabama building a big lead.<br> <br> ``We wouldn&#39;t have let him back in if we felt like he was in a position where it would really hurt him,&#39;&#39; Shula said. ``Right now I feel real good about him playing. I think he feels real good about it. I think he&#39;s probably about where he was this time last week, and no worse.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> Brown was not made available for interviews following Tuesday&#39;s practice.<br> <br> ``It looks like he&#39;s running pretty good,&#39;&#39; Wilson said. ``He looks pretty healthy.
