Tua Tagovailoa to Be Game-Time Decision vs. Mississippi State with Ankle Injury

Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Wednesday quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be a game-time decision for the Crimson Tide's game Saturday against Mississippi State.

Tagovailoa returned from a high-ankle sprain to play in last week's loss to LSU, but Saban told reporters there's lingering pain that could prevent him from facing the Bulldogs.

"He's got soreness in his ankle from playing in the game (against LSU)," he said. "Just like a lot of players this time of year, you've got to manage the practice. You've got to manage the reps. Just like last week, it'll probably be a game-time decision as to whether he can or can't play.
