TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left in the first half against Tennessee with an ankle injury and will not return.
Tagovailoa walked off the field and was taken to the sideline medical tent during the second quarter Saturday night. The 2018 Heisman Trophy runner-up then was escorted to the locker room while Mac Jones took his place.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban told ESPN Tagovailoa twisted an ankle and that he wasn't sure of the quarterback's status for the second half.
Tagovailoa called a timeout just before the play clock ran out after a sack and walked to the sideline.
