Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa potentially suffered an injury in the Tide's game against Missouri on Saturday.
Tagovailoa, who entered the game with a bulky knee brace on his right knee, seemed to favor his right knee after sliding on a scramble in the third quarter.

He left the field on his own power, jogging to the sideline into Alabama's medical tent, where he stayed for two Alabama offensive drives. According to the ESPN telecast, he reinjured his knee on the play and was kept on the sideline as a precautionary measure (Alabama led 30-10 at the time of his injury).

Tagovailoa isn't the only player to go down with injuries against the Tigers, however. Starting receivers DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III both left to the locker room with various unspecified injuries, though the latter did return to the sideline.
In the meantime, it's on backup quarterback Jalen Hurts — the 2016 SEC Player of the Year, remember — to lead a somewhat-depleted Tide offense against Missouri.
This story will be updated.
