Alabama Football: Another Tua Tagovailoa injury, though minor is troubling

The alarm bells are ringing across the Crimson Nation. Tua Tagovailoa is hurt again! Every report states the injury is minor, only a slight problem with a hamstring. Hamstring injuries are normally pulls or strains to the muscle running down the back of the thigh.

They occur frequently to athletes, particularly to runners, basketball and soccer players. Football players are the next most susceptible group of athletes. As this orthopedic site explains there are stages of seriousness with hamstring injuries. The recovery from most occurs with just RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation), but more serious hamstring injuries may require surgery.
