The surveillance over the hip of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa continued on Wednesday ahead of the team’s Citrus Bowl matchup with Michigan. During the pregame show, ESPN’s Marty Smith shared some information from his conversation with the team’s Director of Sports Medicine Jeff Allen about what the quarterback is able to do.
“Very controlled strength work right now. A lot of aquatic rehabs. They’re still in the phase where that fracture is healing so rehab is conservative right now,” said Smith. “They’ll advance to full weight-bearing over the next two to three weeks and then more aggressive strength work after that.
