Alabama fans took a collective sigh of relief on Sunday morning, as the injury to Tua Tagovailoa was not as bad as what was initially thought.
According to Nick Saban, the junior quarterback sustained a ‘twisted ankle’ versus Tennessee and will miss one to two weeks of action.
Upon having an MRI done, the Crimson Tide’s medical staff suggested he have a tightrope surgery performed on his ankle.
Tagovailoa took the precautionary step and per a release from Saban, the recovery process takes two to three weeks. The native Hawaiian told his teammates, following the game, that he’ll be back for LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Nov.
