So much for #TankForTua...
According to several reports, Alabama starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a major hip injury during Saturday’s game against Mississippi State. Tagovailoa, who has still been recovering from mid-season ankle surgery, was taken to the ground hard by a pair of Bulldogs defenders and was left writhing in pain on the turf. He was helped to a cart by Alabama medical staff, after which he was driven off the field. Tagovailoa was then airlifted to a local hospital for evaluation.
It’s being speculated that Tagovailoa suffered a hip fracture. The extent of the damage is unknown as of the publishing of this article, but it’s becoming increasingly likely that the superstar quarterback has played his last down for the Crimson Tide.
