He would have never sustained this injury with an uninjured ankle. Watch each time he’s tackled. He takes weight off the foot and flexes his hip.
This lead to the injury today...and that is all in Saban’s lap.

Thank you, Doctor. Let me know when your next paper on advanced biomedical engineering comes out.

There is no possible way to know this. Plenty of players play with bum ankles, and I'm not reading about displaced hips every week.

The Tua ordeal reminds me of Durant's injury in the Finals.

Rushed back too early, seemed okay, and boom, another body part goes because you're overcompensating.

In today's world, he shoulda hung it up for the season after the LSU loss. He stands to lose millions.

You mean the guy that once stepped over one of his convulsing players to get to his office might not have his players’ best interests at heart???

For a supposed ER Doctor, you should know that the correct term would be 'led',not 'lead'. Everything after that comes in to question, considering you are a doctor and all

pretty sure that he sustained this injury because his femur was perpendicular to the ground when his knee hit and he was flexed forward at about a 90 degree angle while he had two defensive linemen on his back directly over his leg (thus, 100% of their weight as well as about 45% of his was all on that one joint crashing down with force.

I agree 100%. People downvoting so feverishly have never played sports at an elite level.

Whatever.

It's a pretty solid bet that the dude is too physically fragile for football, though.

With his gifts, prolly should have steered him to baseball; might have been a decent shortstop or outfielder...

I suppose the old adage is true, "What do you call a person who finishes last in his/her class in medical school? Doctor."

Tua's ankle wasn't even involved in the play. He crashed down hard onto his knee with two players on top of him, which drove his leg into his hip.

He wouldn't have been hit if he didn't wait so long to throw the ball away.

He got hurt cause he’s slow and was chased down from behind.

Should have just thrown the ball away and listened to coach and stayed out the game

I already stated this in the past and yesterday.

While several understand this, the very uneducated Louisiana peeps and other Southerners on here can't comprehend.

Sometimes, being on TD, is like getting on the short yellow bus and trying to have a conversation with the riders.

I doubt he gets caught like that fully healthy.

Saban risked this trying to get style points before the half.

Was never worth it.

Serious question, I don’t know and don’t claim to know. When I hurt my foot, by changing the way I walked because of the pain. It weakened my hip. Don’t claim to be a doctor, and have no clue. Just wondering.
