FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Three days out from the Orange Bowl, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa provided the latest on his injured left ankle, providing a percentage on his health.

“I’m getting treatment at this moment,” Tagovailoa said. “But it’s been a lot better. If I could grade it on a scale of 0-100, I’d probably say it’s about 80-85 percent. So, it’s been really good.”

Tagovailoa left the SEC Championship Game versus then-No. 4 Georgia on two different occasions, with the last keeping the sophomore signal caller on the sideline for the full contest after left tackle Jonah Williams stepped on his right foot. He was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain that required a scope and only wore a walking boot and using a scooter the week after surgery.

Last week at practice, Tagovailoa was a full participant during the media viewing periods, and Nick Saban said he is ahead of schedule. His left ankle has been wrapped and head trainer Jeff Allen has stood close by to observe, but he has shown no signs of limitations in five practices.

Before leaving for South Florida, Tagovailoa said he expects to be 100 percent by the time of the game, which will take place Saturday, Dec. 29, with the full expectation being he will be able to play.

“Tua has been able to practice and get all the reps that he’s needed to get,” Saban said Monday after Alabama arrived in South Florida. “It will be interesting to see after having a few days off, with the additional rehab, how that impacts his ability to get closer to 100 percent.”

The Tide will practice later this afternoon at Barry University at 1:15 p.m. CT.

In other news, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray missed the Sooners’ interviews Wednesday morning because he was feeling under the weather, according to Oklahoma’s media relations.

No. 1 Alabama will match up with No. 4 Oklahoma on Dec. 29. The Crimson Tide and Sooners are set for a 7 p.m. CT kickoff inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla and on ESPN.
