Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is not expected to return this season after suffering a dislocated right hip Saturday in the 38-7 win over Mississippi State, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Medical officials are continuing to evaluate if the injury also included a fracture, sources said. The Athletic first reported that Tagovailoa had a dislocated hip.
Tagovailoa was carted off in the second quarter of the game and eventually airlifted back to Birmingham for CAT scans and MRIs.
Tagovailoa was injured with three minutes remaining before halftime when he was brought down by two Bulldogs defenders while rolling to his left on a third-down play.
