Tua Tagovailoa has made enough strides in his recovery that his representation is confident enough to pronounce him fully cleared.

"Tua is fully cleared and ready to compete without any restrictions," Chris Cabott said.

The former Alabama quarterback passed the fourth medical checkup on his surgically repaired hip earlier this month.

Tua's doctor, Dr. Lyle Cain, said the quarterback's recovery nearly five months after surgery is significant.

"I am extremely pleased," Cain said. "If you told me four, almost five, months ago now that he'd be where he is now, I think I would have been very happy. I think he's done extremely well for where he started out."

Roger Goodell may conduct the 2020 NFL Draft via a remote-controlled camera from his home in Bronxville, New York.

A source told Peter King that would be a "worst-case scenario."

The NFL continues to insist on moving forward with the draft as scheduled April 23-25, albeit remotely instead of in Las Vegas.

The 2020 NFL draft will go on as scheduled for April 23-25.

Roger Goodell said in his memo that the NFL Management Council Executive Committee had met earlier Thursday and was "unanimous and unequivocal that the draft should go forward as scheduled," despite the coronavirus pandemic that has disrupted the work for most of the nation.

Goodell acknowledged there will have to be significant changes to their typical draft protocol. 

"Everyone recognizes that the public health conditions are highly uncertain and there is no assurance that we can select a different date and be confident that conditions will be significantly more favorable than they are today," he wrote.

"I also believe that the Draft can serve a very positive purpose for our clubs, our fans and the country at large, and many of you have agreed," he wrote.

Despite urgings from the general manager subcommittee, the NFL plans to stick with its original April 23-25 schedule for the 2020 draft.

General managers are concerned there will not be enough time for player physicals, psychological testing and some teams having to conduct the draft from home.

The league still has time to make further and final decisions, but the consensus among owners and the league office is for the draft to go on as scheduled.

"I think a lot of owners aren't sold on keeping it on schedule," one league source said. "Of course the power owners are calling the shots. Plus, add to the fact that April is going to be the toughest month with this virus. It's really a poor look."

Tua Tagovaiola is the overwhelming favorite to be the second quarterback selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, according to odds from SportsBetting.ag.

Tagovaiola is at -500, followed by Justin Herbert at +350 and Jordan Love at +1200.

Joe Burrow will almost certainly be the first quarterback selected at No. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals.

The NFL Draft will proceed as expected, but with a vastly different look next month.

According to a report, the league currently plans to hold the event in a "studio setting" with live look-ins from the headquarters of teams making selections.

The 2020 NFL Draft is a little more than four weeks away.

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to trade DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for the No. 13 pick i the draft.

The Colts have agreed to a new contract with Buckner that will pay him $21 million per season.

Buckner will be the NFL's second highest paid defensive tackle behind Aaron Donald.

The 2020 NFL Draft will proceed as scheduled between April 23rd and 25th, but the league has canceled all public events in Las Vegas.

The NFL is exploring innovative ways for how the process will be conducted.

The draft has become one of the most well-attended sporting events in sports and also incredibly popular on television. 

The New England Patriots will have the maximum four compensatory picks in next month’s NFL draft, including two in the third round, the highest possible round for such selections.

The Patriots also received two selections in the sixth round.

The Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks each get three picks, while the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins will each have two.

Joe Burrow is flattered by comparisons to Tom Brady, but he isn't embracing them.

Burrow was asked about NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah's comments that Burrow and Brady share similar mechanics, Burrow demurred in an interview with the network.

"Please don't compare me to the best player of all time," Burrow told NFL Network. "Let me do my own thing. Don't do that to me, please."
