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."
