Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa Says He's Fully Recovered From Ankle Injury

In case anybody was worried about the strength of the Alabama football team, Heisman finalist Tua Tagovailoa is back to full strength after undergoing surgery for a high ankle sprain in December.

"I am fully recovered," the sophomore quarterback said as a guest on Friday's The Paul Finebaum Show (h/t Charlie Potter), "and I am satisfied with where I'm at in terms of how I'm feeling health-wise."

Tagovailoa suffered his high ankle sprain in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 1. He was back under center for the College Football Playoff, where Alabama lost 44-16 to the Clemson Tigers in the CFP National Championship on Jan.
