Alabama QB Tagovailoa recovering after hip surgery

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to make a full recovery following surgery on his right hip Monday in Houston.

“The procedure went as planned, and he is resting comfortably,” read a statement from Dr. Lyle Cain, the orthopedic surgeon. “Tua’s prognosis is excellent, and we expect him to make a full recovery. He will return to Tuscaloosa in the next several days to begin his rehab.”


Tagovailoa dislocated his right hip Saturday when he was sacked and slammed to the ground by two Mississippi State defenders during the second quarter of the Crimson Tide’s 38-7 victory in Starkville, Miss.

Tagovailoa also had surgery to repair a sprained ankle in October.

The 21-year-old junior passed for 2,840 yards, 33 touchdowns and just three interceptions in nine games this season.


End of an era

In three seasons at Alabama, the 2018 Heisman Trophy runner-up has thrown for 7,442 yards with 87 touchdown passes and only 11 interceptions in 684 attempts.

Tagovailoa has been expected to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft after this season and compete to be the top pick.
