Orthopedic surgeon explains Tua Tagovailoa’s injury and what it means long-term

One day after a scary moment occurred for Alabama football and all who are invested, Tua Tagovailoa is ok. He sustained a right hip injury versus Mississippi State on Saturday and the team earning a 38-7 win, it came at a huge cost. The junior quarterback had to be carted off the field and then transported via helicopter to St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Birmingham, Ala.

Prayers and thoughts were lifted from Crimson Tide fans in respect of its signal caller and according to Dr. Lyle Cain, the team’s Orthopedic Surgeon released in a statement that Tagovailoa is ‘expected’ to make a full recovery.
