Alabama QB Jalen Hurts Underwent 'Minor Procedure' to Help Heal Ankle Injury

Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's game against Tennessee, which could force him to miss some time.

"One thing that I want to announce that we didn't know about after the game is Jalen actually twisted his ankle when he scored the touchdown," head coach Nick Saban said Monday, per Charlie Potter of 247Sports. "He stayed in the game. Nobody really knew about it. It was a bit of a high ankle sprain, and they did a minor procedure to try to help the healing."

Saban indicated the quarterback will likely be out for at least a week, and then it will be a "medical decision" for when he can return.
