Tua Tagovailoa Injury: Fans Can Send 'Get Well' Cards
After successful hip surgery Monday, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is recovering, and fans can send him their "get well" wishes.
TUSCALOOSA, AL — When Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down with an injury Saturday against Mississippi State, even those who were watching on televison could tell the junior signal-caller was in severe pain.
When he was taken by helicopter to St. Vincent's Hosiptal in Birmingham, fans knew it was a serious injury. Tagovailoa's hip was dislocated, and he sustained a fracture, which will force the Heisman candidate to miss the remainder of the season, and has some experts wondering about his future as a football player altogether.
Regardless of team affiliation, the outpouring of support from fans all over the country for Tagovailoa, who underwent surgery in Houston Monday morning, has been tremendous.
