Has the same injury as Mett did. It will affect him.

They amputated both legs just to be safe.

I had some similar stuff 20 years ago. He will at least be paranoid about it.

Nick told Jalen how much he respected him and to take one for the team.

He'll tell Tua to take one for the team and play for the team (for Nick) and Tua will tough it out as long as he can.

he has a partial meniscus tear which you can keep going on as long as it don't completely tear it later. they could scope it now and he'd be out for a month or so but likely back this season. Lord Saban wants him to tough it out. and the kids a competitor. he's going to play.

Sounds like he won’t be able to scramble as well

Very short sighted of Saban if true. Bama can easily beat everyone on their schedule except maybe LSU on the road, with Hurts at quarterback. And even with 1 potential loss Bama is garaunteed a spot in the playoffs. Having a 100% healthy Tua for the postseason seems like the smarter decision.

Not to mention it would be better for that young man’s future to get his knee fixed and healed now, rather risking making it much worse.

Vegas hasn't put a line on this week's game. That should tell you people don't know much.

ESPN and Bama writers are claiming that no scope occurred and that he will be good to go soon. That means that it was a meniscus tear that will have him sidelined for several weeks.
