Tua to have procedure for high ankle sprain

[BamaMike05]

And... instead of this being viewed as a heroic performance it's going to lose him the Heisman trophy most likely. Hurray for ignorant voters.

Exactly! I also, haven’t heard anyone, in the national media, mention once Josh Jacobs mining the MVP playing with essentially the Flu! It’s all pure Bama Fatigue. It’s real!

Speculation in the Heisman thread is that our (Bama's) lack of communicating what was going on with Tua's injury contributed to this as well. But CNS isn't in to individual awards over team and so he chose to conceal Tua's injury. It is what it is.

That said, I guess there could have been a media blitz on Sunday morning regarding how he had played hurt a good part of the year.

maybe saban will have him show up in one of these

Tennesee fans will be convinced Tua is transfering to UT, and Auburn fans will say the ballon is an impermissable benefit

The media was still reporting yesterday that he had surgery on his rt ankle that was injured late in the game when in fact it was his lt ankle that he hurt on the first series. He played hurt the whole game. Some media members were pointing out that his poor performance in the game hurt his Heisman chances.

Thompson plays for the 7A title game tonight. Tua will be there in support of lil bro. Guess it’ll be his first public display of whatever hardware he’s walking around with for the injury.

Looking forward to that game! Will be televised on.... https://www.wsfa.com/2018/12/03/super-high-school-football-championships-air-bounce-tv/

Man! If he shows up like this, give him a CRIMSON balloon!

I know this is a joke, but in all seriousness I really would like it to be something similar to this.

Just saw that a medical person said that Tua's injury is not nearly as bad at Jalen's. Good news...hope he is 100% for OU. BIGTide may be right after all...

I believe it is true that Tua's injury was scoped to improve healing and Jalen's had a procedure to stabilize his Tibia and Fibula. His injury could have involved damage to soft tissue which created far greater pain in those initial weeks. It remains to be seen how vulnerable Tua will be to re-injury or continued lack of mobility by game time.
I believe preparing Jalen and Tua to play will be a necessary focus when game preparation begins.

He has a scooter...

So if he is in a boot and has a scooter - does that make him a "boot scooter"?

Yea, he can do the "boot scootin boogie." Well, on second thought maybe not.

Yep. Nick isn't playing around with this. Sending the main man with him.

I got to believe he'll win an award tonight. Would they really make a guy in his condition travel to the awards show if he's not being given an award? I doubt it.

He will win the O'Brien.

So is that some sort of stimulator similar to a tens unit laying in his lap? I see the wires running around to the boot.

Hopefully, he will be doing the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" on December 29, 2018.

That's what it looks like.
