Alabama releases statement regarding Tua Tagovailoa's injury status
The reports are true, Tua Tagovailoa’s season is officially done.
That’s the bad news.
The good news is Alabama’s quarterback is expected to make a full recovery after the program’s training staff took immediate action after Tagovailoa injured his hip Saturday against Mississippi State.
If you missed it, Tua got rolled up on and failed to get up. After being down for some time, Tagovailoa was carted off the field before leaving the stadium in an ambulance. He was then helicoptered back to Alabama for immediate testing.
Following the injury scare, Alabama just released the following statement on Tagovailoa’s status:
“Tua Tagovailoa sustained a right hip dislocation that was immediately reduced at the stadium. He is undergoing further testing to determine the best course of treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery but will miss the remainder of the season.”
While he won’t be suiting up again this season, it’s great to hear Tua is expected to make a full recovery, as he has arguably the brightest future of any college football player in the nation.
Doesn’t mention a fracture… Hopefully it’s not actually fractured.
It would be awesome if your douche coach acted like he cared and left the aideline
He did leave the sideline… It would be awesome if your dumba$& watched the game and situation unfold before making a stupid comment…
Frozenhawg- when you cant tell the difference between cheering for/against a team playing a game and actually hating people, it is a sign this SPORT might not be good for you. Take a break. Read a book.
He should not have played in this game or the LSU game! Give me a break. Hawg is right. Dude literally had surgery how long ago and you they’re him in 2weeks later. For what?
So hawg is right but he didn’t say anything that you just said… He said Saban should have left the sideline when Tua got injured. He did walk over and check on Tua…
Also you don’t know how long Ago his surgery was but you’re criticizing some one?
SMH… Keep telling yourself this is justified. I give up.
You should have gave up a long time ago… So let’s refer back to hawgs post that was so right…
What was right about it?
Why was Tua playing? You’re up big time on the third worst team in the conference and you have him limping on a recently operated ankle? Saban ruined this kid’s life. Plain and simple, he’s proven himself to be a selfish, unfeeling monster.
When was Tua limping against MSU?
Man at the made up $hit some of you come up with.
Your statement just shows how stupid you are.
Wow!! You’re stupid!
My condolences to the team, Tua and his family. I hate to see a team hobbled by injuries when they are as good as Bama and can compete with anyone. I hope he gets well very soon.
Man…I don’t think anyone realizes the extent. I hope they are right but weren’t initial reports also fracture involved? Thank god he is young and has full support of all resources but only so much can be done. He won’t be the same athlete as before.
Initially it was reported as a fracture… I’m not sure of the extent either but I hold out hope it’s not fractured.
Nope…you hope it was/is a fracture. Typically it’s an easier recovery. Dislocated hips are complicated, avascular necrosis is common people often repeatedly dislocate the hip. Of course a break can be bad. depends on the exact location.
Well they have confirmed it was dislocated. I hope it wasn’t fractured because that’s seems to be the only thing that is left questionable…
Are you a doctor? You have No idea what you’re talking about!
Prayers for Tua!
st yr the same Miss State team took out Tua’s knee…makes you wonder what the other team is being instructed to do ummm…Bama never take cheap shots at the opposing teams QB’s Hate will make you do a lot of things!
Are you out of your mind. It was a clean hit.
You sound like the UGA fans that constantly claim UT is out to injure their players.
Hope Tua is able to make a complete recovery.
I hope it’s not a fracture, because from what I could tell if it was than this might be career ending. I just feel so bad for this kid.
I just don’t understand why he was playing in this game to begin with… We’re pretty awful this year, you could have beat us with your second string no problem. Why put your star QB at risk, and then it winds up being an injury this bad.
Prayers for Tua and his family. The Bama coaching staff needs to keep their pride in check though and not put their players at risk when it’s just to run up a score for the committee.
From everything I’ve read…it seems like a “freak injury”…as I do not recall many injuries like this. Hopefully he can have a full-recovery and enjoy a full Professional NFL Career. I hope the team that drafts him has a good offensive line.
He was allowed to play in the game =why ?
Was still in the game to complete a 2 min. drill=why ? He did not look rusty to me.
I have a feeling that the OC, Sarkisian mad this decision, not Coach Saban. Nick knew that Alabama’s season depended upon Tua playing. We’ll probably not ever know the inside-scoop on who decided what, but whoever made that decision=It was a major bonehead decision.
As a college football, SEC and die hard LSU Fan, I hate to see Tua’s injury and wish him the best in his recovery. Much gratitude toward Nick Saban for bringing back LSU football and for setting the bar high for everyone else in CFB. Tua’s injury was not Saban’s fault, so please give it up.
Some teams have caught up to BAMA now, but do not be surprised if BAMA makes the playoffs. I for one expect it, but do not want to play BAMA again.

To all the people talking crap about Saban: Tua clearly did not aggravate his injury after the LSU game, or he WOULD have been sitting. So, if Tua had improved physically, why would you not play him? What kind of message would that send to the team? Saban did the right thing in using his best players to beat the crap out of an inferior opponent by halftime. Tua’s ankle has nothing to do with the freak injury he sustained on Saturday. Much respect for Tua for not putting himself first and quitting on the season like many other top players in recent years.
I’m not the one getting paid the big money but I don’t understand why he was even playing in this game he wasn’t needed and with already being injured it doesn’t seem like you would want to risk it but there is a reason why saban and not us fans
