DAVIE, Fla. -- Watching Tua Tagovailoa wiggle on a crucial fourth-quarter third-down play, delivering a dead-leg juke on Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker last Sunday, it's easy to forget all that the Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback has endured to get here.
Monday will mark one year since Tagovailoa suffered a scary hip injury at Alabama that could have ended the career of a player who might become one of this generation's best. The journey began with a helicopter ride off the field to the hospital and continued through months of rehab and outside uncertainty about whether Tagovailoa would ever be the same football player.
