The biggest news from Saturday’s college football action had serious NFL implications. Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa, in the conversation for the top pick and top quarterback in the NFL draft, suffered a dislocated hip and posterior wall fracture, per The Athletic, that was serious enough that the junior quarterback was transported to a Birmingham hospital by helicopter.
Alabama team doctor Lyle Cain said in a statement Saturday night that the dislocation was immediately reduced at the stadium—a promising sign because easing the hip back into place stops any further bleeding and damage to the bone.
