Alabama Football: The Tide should rest Tua until Auburn

Dating back to last season Tua Tagovailoa has dealt with a knee injury and two ankle injuries. The knee seemed to either get re-injured at some point or was aggravated late in the season. The injury history of the Alabama football QB is not a secret.

Some draft experts have started to question whether Tua is injury prone which is affecting his draft stock. Last season, it seemed like Tua was forced back into action earlier than he should have been and that led to the ankle injuries against Georgia. Part of the reason Tua may have been pressed into service was the fact that then backup, Jalen Hurts, was dealing with his own ankle injury.
