Feel bad for the young man. He’s a great kid. Great leader. What a shame... It didn’t look good at all and I’d be surprised if he’s back again this year. His draft status - IF he’s able to still play football, will certainly be impacted...

Oh crap man......

Hopefully the surgery and physical therapy have advanced to a point where this wont be a long term problem. It has been almost 30 years.....

Man..... Would hate to not see him on the field in the future.

According to Dr Mark Adickes whom played in the NFL said it’s looks most likely a labral hip tear that requires surgery thus ending his season.

Yes, the same injury that ended Bo Jackson’s football career

Holy hell.

I hate to make so many things about what my offseason outlook was, but let's be honest - I've never been this vocal on the board until then. I thought Tua was going to be the next big superstar, and I was really unhappy we were going to position ourselves not to be able to take him. This looks bad, and I'm happy we made a move for a player that is succeeding. I wish the best to Tua, and hope to see him continue his career.

I think we all wish Tua the best , but we should face realty , Tua has a high skill set but we should question how many times over the past two seasons has he visited the medical tent ? We all know Bridgewater suffered a horrible injury , and came back to play well in the NFL , but that was one injury . If I am a GM , there is a big caution flag about taking Tua early in the draft . I hope he recovers and has his shot in the NFL , but I'm not holding my breath !
