Fans were in fear as they watched Tua Tagovailoa leave the field and head toward the locker room over the weekend versus Tennessee. The exciting, new LED lighting feature soon meant nothing to Alabama fans as the junior quarterback went to have his ankle examined.
He left prior to halftime and per the many videos posted on Twitter of him getting into an ambulance vehicle, people started assuming the worst. In the aftermath of all the madness, Tagovailoa sustained a twisted ankle and chose to have tightrope surgery performed on it.
The process requires a two to three-week recovery time and while Nick Saban expects him to miss one week at the least, the Heisman candidate told teammates that he will be back for the LSU matchup on Nov.
