Tua Tagovailoa is recovering from a high ankle sprain.
Tua Tagovailoa’s appearance in a walking boot at the College Football Awards is sure to worry many Alabama fans about Tagovailoa’s high ankle sprain injury. After accepting the Maxwell Award, Tagovailoa noted he was “hopeful” he could play against Oklahoma.
ESPN’s Chris Fowler brought the award down from the stage to Tagovailoa who was walking with a noticeable limp.
During the College Football Playoff’s opening press conference, Alabama head coach Nick Saban noted Tagovailoa was “on schedule.”
“I think Tua’s right on schedule,” Saban explained to 247 Sports . “The procedure they did usually takes two weeks for a guy to be able to have any explosive movement, and then they go from there. So, we’ll see how he progresses from there. But we’re pleased with the progress he’s made to this point.”
According to CBS Sports, Tagovailoa underwent minor surgery on his ankle to help repair the injury.
