Premise: Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa throwing a week after breaking finger The Alabama quarterback battle had to be put on pause for a bit after sophomore Tua Tagovailoa suffered an injury to a finger on his throwing hand. But he was back on the field and throwing again on Tuesday, one week after his injury. Tagovailoa’s father, Galu, told KHON-TV in Honolulu on Thursday that the injury was a broken index finger. Alabama coach Nick Saban told reporters including AL.com’s Matt Zenitz on Tuesday that he’s pleased with the progress that Tagovailoa has made since suffering the injury.
Hypothesis: Alabama quarterback battle  was hold-off for a week due to a players injury.
