Lions' Matt Patricia says Tua Tagovailoa has 'dynamic playmaking ability'

Indianapolis -- The waiting game with Tua Tagovailoa won’t be over anytime soon.

The former Alabama quarterback remains one of the most intriguing players in this year’s NFL Draft, but also one of the big mysteries with two months left until teams are on the clock, including the Lions with the No. 3 overall pick.

Tagovailoa, who suffered a fractured and dislocated hip in November, said Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis he’s awaiting a March 9 checkup to receive full medical clearance.
