Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will need approximately two weeks to recover from a procedure to help repair a high-ankle sprain he suffered during the SEC Championship Game on Saturday night.
Saban said an MRI revealed the injury after the Crimson Tide beat Georgia, 35-28, to win the conference title and secure the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. Alabama will face No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl.
"Hopefully by the time we start practicing again, Tua will be back on the field and ready to go," Saban said.
