Tua Tagovailoa a game-time decision for Saturday's game

Whether Alabama star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be able to play Saturday against Mississippi State remains a game-time decision, coach Nick Saban said Wednesday.

Tagovailoa had surgery to repair a high ankle sprain roughly three weeks ago. He was said to be a game-time decision in advance of last weekend's game against No. 1 LSU and was a full participant, throwing four touchdowns and an interception in the 46-41 loss. He was seen walking gingerly during parts of the game.

Saban said the junior quarterback, who is widely regarded as a possible No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, is experiencing some soreness in his ankle from the game.
