After he underwent hip surgery Monday, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will begin a six-week "partial weight-bearing recovery plan," according to ESPN's Laura Rutledge (via ESPN's Mark Schlabach).
The doctors who performed the surgery are hopeful Tagovailoa can resume athletic activity in three months and start throwing again by the spring.
"Tua's prognosis is excellent, and we expect him to make a full recovery," Alabama orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain said. "He will return to Tuscaloosa in the next several days to begin his rehab."
