Glad to see Tua moving fine. I just hope he doesn't take too many shots in a game. I don't know if it is all the wrapping but Jalen is even limping when he walks. I hope he gets better soon.

He's not fine and the Tua we saw Saturday ain't beating UGA and may not beat Auburn.

I could accept this more if Saban had just been honest and said something like "He's hurt, but we think it's something he can manage." But no, he had to blatantly contradict even what Tua himself said, and now here we are. Downvote away, you all know deep down I'm right.

Jalen all fricked up. I have to assume his injury came in practice because i dont recall him taking a big injury on the field. I wonder who fricked up and tackled and hurt jalen in practice. What is the story with Jalen's injury?

Amazing how these players are always doing some type of drill. Not much idle time standing around watching others perform their efforts.

Ankles, especially once injured, are weird... can just about hurt them anywhere at anytime.

The video proves you to be full of bullshite

You're just a UA hating troll so I don't expect you to think any differently but I'm glad that Alabama's continuing domination of college football does so irritate you.

Well, I won't downvote you but I think I'll put my faith in Saban's ability to make decisions over yours.

A 30 yard TD Scramble against UT. He hurt it falling into the endzone

So he wasn't missing easy throws and hobbling off the field against MSU? Ok.

Jalen had surgery on a high ankle sprain.

That's a ~6 week recovery period. He'll be fine for the SEC Championship.

The practice video was from today, and he's doing mobility drills that you couldn't do on your best day

Saban said he "doesn't have a knee injury" after the LSU game. His exact words.

Then Tua himself said his knee gave out on the TD run.

I mean even the insider over on the Bama board seems to be getting concerned, but hey I'm just a troll, right?

Nope. All the facts are proving you wrong.

MSU: He went out with a thigh bruise. You ride a stationary bike to work out knots or muscle cramps. You do NOT ride a bike if you have a knee injury.
He was limping because of the deep tissue bruise he likely got.

He was cutting and running in LSU and MSU. Had a great run against MSU last week.
He likely has a strain, which can be managed and is being managed which is why he never finishes games. Rest is all that needs.

The surgery is what's slowing him, which is actually done to shorten the recovery time of high ankle sprains. It's actually a relatively new procedure. It drains the blood and reduces the swelling.

It won't be a lingering thing which would be the case had he not had the surgery. And also high ankle sprains can usually lead to worse injuries if you push it.

He had the surgery after Tennesse, so he could be as good as before by Auburn or UGA, which is a 5 or 6 week recovery.
