24 hours removed from a season ending hip injury, Alabama quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa received a visit from his Crimson Tide teammates.

Tagovailoa suffered the injury late in the first half and was air lifted to Birmingham to receive further medical treatment. The Tide went on to win the game 38-7 and move to 9-1 on the season.

On Sunday, Tide defensive lineman Phidarian Mathis, joined by fellow defensive lineman Raekwon Davis, shared this photo on Twitter during a visit to see Tagovailoa in the hospital.

With Tagovailoa just a few weeks removed from a tight rope ankle surgery following an injury against Tennessee, Nick Saban was asked about the decisions that went into playing Tagovailoa against the Bulldogs after the game.

"We felt like if he could move in pregame, which we took him out before pregame before the team ever went out and worked him out," Saban said. "He was good. He was at least as good as he was a week ago in terms of his ability to move, and I didn’t think that anything that he did affected his performance in this game in the first half. So, the guy played, and I thought he played really well. We hate it that he got injured. We hate it for him. We hate it for his family. I hate it if any player on our team gets injured. So, Godspeed to him and his entire family, and our thoughts and prayers are with him. Hopefully, this is not so serious that it has any longterm effect on his future as a player."

Alabama's team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain released a positive update on Tagovailoa later in the day.

“Tua Tagovailoa sustained a right hip dislocation that was immediately reduced at the stadium. He is undergoing further testing to determine the best course of treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery but will miss the remainder of the season.”

Tagovailoa finishes the season with 2,840 yards passing and 33 touchdowns to just three interceptions. The UA junior posted a quarterback rating of 94.5.

Alabama will turn to redshirt sophomore Mac Jones to close out he remainder of its 2019-20 season with two games left to go on the regular season schedule.

"We have total confidence in Mac," Saban said on Saturday. "I thought Mac did a good job when he went in the game."

Next Saturday the Tide faces Western Carolina before traveling to Auburn the following weekend to close out the regular season in the Iron Bowl.
