This sounds like GREAT news! Just seeing the phrase "full recovery" makes me feel so much better.

As much as I would like to see that, I think it would be in his best interest to leave. As injury prone as he seems to be I feel like he should get what he can get while he can. If he comes back and gets injured again I don’t see any team taking a chance on him. Besides, if he has a great start to his career he will eventually get a big pay day and it won’t matter where he was drafted, just look at Tom Brady. That is just my opinion and I know that Coach Saban will give him the best advice and his family will help him make the right decision for his future.

I haven't had much time to process the info...but I think I agree.

He has nothing else to prove at Alabama. FWIW, I'd love to watch him play at Bama more, but I say that selfishly.

And if his draft status drops and he goes in a lower round he might find himself in a better situation longterm.

Under this scenario, he might not get his money up front, but he might have a longer career and eventually sign a big contract later.

I'm with CJ on this one. As much as I would love to see him back for his Sr. year, I say take the money and run.

I am very glad he is expected to make a full recovery and have prayed for this to be the case. God is good...ALL the time!

Re: Statement on Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain

This is great news, and I hope Tua has a full recovery. They didn't mention any fracture in this press release, so I'm hoping that means there was no fracture. No fracture would probably help him make a faster, better recovery. Get well Tua, you are the man!

Re: Statement on Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain

Maybe Tua isn’t as motivated by $$ as some of you are. QBs can play into their 40s. I know how much of a competitor he is and may not want to leave college on a sour note.

Re: Statement on Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain

This is very good news to hear. I hope he is 100% as soon as possible.

Seriously?

Re: Statement on Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain

As far as his draft ,and being injury prone, he will be prone to injury in college or NFL, that's not going to change. What would effect his status would be a 5th yr at bama injury free. That's not the trend I'm seeing though.

Re: Statement on Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain

Did they say the same thing about Bo Jackson after his injury?

Comments on this please...

I am very cautiously optimistic.

Praying that he will make a full recovery.

Yes....seriously!

Honestly, he might be better off in the NFL with their QB friendly rules.

This is GREAT news! Prayers for Tua and his family. Roll Tide, Tua and best wishes for a speedy, successful recovery.

Everyone is getting a little too excited here I think. Best case he isn’t playing football anywhere until 2021

that was a LONG time ago! Bo’s main issue was bleeding in the hip that wasn’t addressed:

In the film You Don't Know Bo, Jackson claimed that after he discovered the injury, he physically popped his hip back into the socket and in the process damaged the blood vessels supplying blood to the area. While doctors did not find proof that Jackson physically reset his hip, they did discover that there was a fracture of one of Jackson's hip bones.

Within a month of the injury, Jackson had been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the hip joint. He also was found to have lost all of the cartilage supporting his hip.
