Walking Day 4,5
Running Day 8,9
Cutting soon after that
Full return Week 3 or 4.


As long he is practicing by week 4 he will be ready but he is most effective when he can also cut and run. If he's 80-90% in weeks 3&4 then he should be fine by game time.

Tua is applying deer antler spray to the leg daily.

He will be 100%.

Jalen saved him so no problem.
he injured the ankle that he had surgery on in the first series of the game.

He played almost 3 qtrs with a bad left ankle and a less than 100% right knee. He didn't come out of the game until his right ankle was stepped on and he virtually couldn't stand or move around effectively.

Meanwhile, Alabama played one of its worst first three quarters of football, yet Tua and the Tide managed somehow to keep it a one-score game. Then, you are correct. Jalen most certainly did come in and more that Bulldog arse

His staying in the game may have cost him the Heisman because of its effect on his stats. But, what is not appreciated is the fact remains that his staying in the game until the third quarter kept the game close and prevented any effective halftime adjustments by the Georgia defense for a Jalen led attack.

Can't go wrong with any of the top 3 winning this year. All had tremendous performances.

Hope he heals quickly, but do not feel he'll be absolutely needed until the finals vs Clemson.

His speech at the awards spoke truth - he had doubt he would return. You could tell he knew the recovery time is longer than what he had for the OU game. Afterwards, the coaches told him what to say so that OU would have to primarily prepare for him.

Doesn't matter, Hurts will light that OU defense up.

They did a procedure on it. It’s suppised to accelerate the recovery of Syndesmosis.


They drill a hole though both bones in the leg.
They thread a wire through.
They drill another hole through both bones in the leg and thread the wire through.

They anchor the wire to a screw plate and ratchet they wire tight to bull the bones together.

Its no wonder you can't walk after its done.

No, no ,absolutely not. He's out. OU needs to prepare for Hurts and Hurts only.

OU can blitz all day, and they still won’t get near him. B12, 7 on 7 defense and the worst secondary in all of CFB

If Alabama throws the ball even one time against OU they're crazy. Put the running back Hurts back there for this game and just zone read and run it up their arse all day. There's literally nothing OU will be able to do about it. They are a historically bad defense

I don’t see it. From what I understand Jalen had the same surgery to help heal a high ankle sprain and tried to say he was good to go after three weeks. But Jalen was still hobbling around on the sidelines.

Now that Jalen is better and looked pretty damn good in the SECG, I don’t see why you’d put Tua in a bad position.
