Tua Tagovailoa on track to face Missouri despite knee sprain

Alabama starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with a sprained knee he suffered during last weekend's win over Arkansas, but coach Nick Saban said Wednesday it has not caused him to miss any reps in practice.

Tagovailoa, a Heisman Trophy front-runner, returned to Saturday's game after suffering the injury and played briefly with a brace on the knee. He's been seen wearing a brace around the facility and during practice this week.

Alabama hosts Missouri on Saturday night.

Tagovailoa has started every game for the Crimson Tide this season. The sophomore from Hawaii has thrown for 1,495 yards with 18 touchdowns and no interceptions.
