Four-Month Scans For Tua Tagovailoa’s Hip “Very Good With No Concerns”

According to Ian Rapoport, the four-month scans of Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa‘s hip came back as “very good with no concerns.”

Rapoport says the scans were essentially as positive as possible and Tagovailoa can now begin ramping up his activity to be ready to play. 

This fits along with Tagovailoa’s expected timeline as he continues his rehab from a dislocated hip. Tagovailoa said at the NFL Scouting Combine he expected to receive clearance by today, March 9. 

Tagovailoa also received positive medical reports at the Combine. He appears to be on track to hold his own pro day on April 9. 

A full recovery could cement Tagovailoa as a top-five pick and create a bidding war with multiple teams in a potential trade-up scenario. Tagovailoa already has a pre-draft visit scheduled with the Redskins. 

Tagovailoa, 21, is still expected to be a high first-round pick in this year’s draft, despite the serious hip injury. In fact, many experts believe he’ll still be a top-five pick as long as things check out with his hip. 

For his career, Tagovailoa has completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 7,442 yards, 87 touchdowns and 11 interceptions over the course of three seasons and 32 games. He has also rushed for 340 yards and nine touchdowns.
