REPORT: Tua Tagovailoa’s Hip Injury Is “Similar To Bo Jackson’s Career-Ending Injury”

November 16, 2019

During Alabama’s 38-7 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday, QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered what is now being called a “serious hip injury.”

Not only was Tua carted off the field, he was also airlifted to a hospital due to the severity of the injury:

Not only is the injury being called “serious” but early speculation is the injury is similar to the injury Bo Jackson suffered, which ended his career:

Hearing Tua Tagovailoa’s hip injury is serious. Hip fracture. Similar to Bo Jackson’s career-ending injury. Surgery tonight or tomorrow morning. Praying for Tua and his family. 🙏
