Report: Tagovailoa's fractured hip is healed
Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa recently underwent his three-month CT scan and it revealed that his fractured hip has healed and his range of motion is good, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Tagovailoa's tests went "as positive as possible" but it'll likely be another month before he's cleared for football activities, Rapoport added.
The quarterback is a coveted draft prospect and was expected to be one of the first players selected before he dislocated and fractured his hip in a game on Nov. 16.
He underwent surgery two days later and said on Jan. 30 that he was on pace to make a full recovery.
Tagovailoa will likely undergo medical tests for NFL teams at the scouting combine, which begins Feb. 24. The junior passer was one of the 17 quarterbacks invited to the showcase.
