ATLANTA -- Alabama All-American safety Minkah Fitzpatrick said he was taken to the hospital on Tuesday, a day after he injured one of his kidneys in the Crimson Tide's 24-6 victory over Clemson in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Fitzpatrick said the injury will not affect him in Monday night's game against Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
"I've got two healthy kidneys," Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick said he was injured when someone fell on his back while making a tackle in the first quarter of the Sugar Bowl.
