TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was present for the Crimson Tide's first bowl practice on Friday afternoon, less than two weeks after he had surgery to help repair a high-ankle sprain.
Tagovailoa, who suffered the injury during the SEC Championship Game, did not take part in one footwork drill with the rest of the team's quarterbacks, but he was able to participate in the other drills during the media viewing period of practice.
The sophomore used a walking boot and medical scooter during the Heisman Trophy ceremonies in New York City last weekend.
