At a press conference, the Crimson Tide quarterback spoke about the season-ending hip injury he suffered.
Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa reveals he does not think he will be the same after recovering from hip injuryabout the season-ending hip injury he suffered and suggested that his surgery may prevent him from returning to his original self.
"I don't think I'd be the same again because there's like metal in there," Tagovailoa said."I lose some rotation inward, so I won't be able to twist as much inward and whatnot. I wouldn't need that as much. When you're running you're almost always opening up your hip. From [what] the doctors say, they expect a full recovery and I'll be able to go out there and play football again at 100 percent.
The Crimson Tide star suffered a dislocated hip injury during Alabama's game against Mississippi State on November 16. Two days later, Tagovailoa underwent surgery that was regarded as a successful procedure, according to team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain. "The procedure went as planned, and he is resting comfortably," Cain said in a statement."Tua's prognosis is excellent, and we expect him to make a full recovery."
Despite his doctors telling him that he will be able to make a full recovery on the football field, Tagovailoa noted that there is a difference between a full recovery and returning to his original form.
