Tua Tagovailoa’s injury outlook keeps getting better before 2020 draft

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is 100 percent ahead of the 2020 NFL draft.

Call it news the Cincinnati Bengals should still take into account before the big day.

Word broke this week from Tagovailoa himself that he’s fully ready to go and he’s openly participated in getting his medical re-checks out there for teams.

“I feel 100 percent,” Tagovailoa said, according to Steve Wyche of NFL Network. “I feel like if there was a game today, I’d be able to go out and perform the same way I was able to perform in previous years. I feel as mobile as possible. I feel 100 percent.”

More: All 32 team doctors and trainers were able to provide input on what exams they wanted to see conducted, and a comprehensive exam was performed. The results were shared with all 32 teams. At this point, Tua has fulfilled all medical obligations, per his reps. https://t.co/HsA5hr7b9z

This probably doesn’t move the needle on what the Bengals intend to do at No. 1, of course. But it’s worth pointing out because he was one of four prospects the team was reportedly considering at one point and people within the organization have described Tagovailoa as top-five worthy.
