Saban: Tua could have gone back into game

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to participate fully in practice on Monday after aggravating his sprained knee during a win over Missouri this past weekend, coach Nick Saban said.

Tagovailoa, a Heisman Trophy front-runner, originally injured the knee two weeks ago during a win over Arkansas. He wore a protective brace against Missouri, but aggravated the knee while sliding at the end of a run during the third quarter. Afterward, he went to the sideline and was attended to by trainers for several minutes. He did not re-enter the game.
