Saban updates status of QBs; says Tua Tagovailoa “will play” versus the Citadel

Nick Saban won’t let foul play from opposition dictate his moves.

The head coach for the University of Alabama football program took the podium on Monday for his presser, and among the first questions he tackled was the health of his quarterback room.

Since having surgery on his ankle, Jalen Hurts did not play against LSU or Mississippi State.

Despite making some progress in practice, the junior was clearly favoring the issue in pre-game warmups versus both schools. After news surfaced on Tua Tagovailoa nursing a sprained posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) to his knee against Arkansas, four different Southeastern Conference teams have targeted the area and have aimed low with hits on the sophomore.
