  Tua Tagovailoa is widely projected to be a Top 10 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, but one former general manager remains wary of the former Alabama quarterback's injury history. On his "GM Shuffle" podcast, former Cleveland Browns GM and longtime NFL analyst Michael Lombardi said sources have told him that two teams - including one drafting in the Top 10 - have "flunked" Tagovailoa on their pre-draft physical. Lombardi said it's not only Tagovailoa's hip injury - which ended his 2019 season in mid-November - that has pro teams wary, but also a "multitude of injuries" the former Crimson Tide star suffered during his college career.

"It's not just his hip," Lombardi said. "It's his ankle. It's his wrist. He broke his wrist the first day of spring ball one year. … He's brittle. He is brittle. You can't deny it." The broken wrist Lombardi appears to be referring to happened on the first day of spring drills in 2018, when Tagovailoa suffered what was alternately described as a hand and thumb injury (though not a wrist injury). The Alabama quarterback also missed game or practice time with two separate ankle injuries that required surgery and a knee injury during his time in Tuscaloosa. - Birmingham News
