Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's. I'm Stuart Mandel joined as always by Bruce Feldman

on another lovely Monday morning. Bruce I felt like Saturday had a lot of great games, a lot of crazy endings, and yet the big

story coming out of it, and this was a story last year as well obviously is Tua's ankle. This notion that I, maybe in a couple weeks before it, that I started to see people be,

start to try to downplay to a little bit and be like, oh, it's all his receivers.

You know, he just throws a quick pass and they take it from there.

Anybody who still thinks that should have watched the second half of the game once

Mac Jones came in a quarterback.

Clearly they are not the same team and so I you hate to see any player get injured

this one in particular I'm like oh no because first of

all it happened to him last year and second of all I want that Alabama LSU game

on November 9th to be full strength to a versus full strength Joe Burrow. But as the details

emerge and Aaron Suttles had a nice story about this for us yesterday where he talked

to a source close to the program who indicated

this is serious he's gonna he did have the same procedure Sunday morning

that he and other Alabama players have had in the past that allows them to recover more quickly from a high ankle

spring than has traditionally been the case. But it definitely sounds like this is going to be cutting it very close

to expect him to be healthy in time for that game to be able to play in that game and even if he does play in that game is he going to be

full strength a hundred percent to a if not how close is that going to be and I mean I don't be

blunt about it I if he's not to a I don't think they beat LSU yes do I think this is going to be the dominant storyline we're going to hear really till

November 9th about the speculation and look last year I think it was four weeks

before the playoff, before two return, obviously,

it was the opposite ankle.
