This is mildly interesting, especially given the player’s medical history.
Over the past several months, Tua Tagovailoa has dealt with a handful of injuries, from his hand last spring to a knee injury midseason to a high-ankle sprain in the postseason. The last Friday of June brings word of yet another injury issue for the Alabama quarterback, with multiple media outlets reporting that Tagovailoa is dealing with what one of those entities describing as a minor hamstring injury. Another described it as a “tweaked hamstring,” a third a “slight hamstring injury.”
Regardless of the specific nature of the injury, it will keep Tagovailoa from participating in this year’s Manning Passing Academy.
No Tua Tagovailoa at the Manning Passing Academy. We’re being told it’s due to a tweaked hamstring. Also, no Trevor Lawrence for media session. Trevor arrived late to camp and won’t be speaking to media.

.. @AlabamaFTBL quarterback Tua Tagavailoa not at Manning Passing Academy due to slight hamstring injury - nothing serious - just kept out for precautionary measures #wgnosports

Thus far, there has been no official word from the Crimson Tide football program regarding the development.
Alabama is set to open summer camp in early August. Tagovailoa will be entering his second -- and what some expect to be his last -- full season as the Crimson Tide’s starter under center.
