Recovery timeline (if all goes well). He should be back for fall camp to practice and be ready for the season.

  • Weeks 1–3: Reduce pain and inflammation, start physical therapy, and wear a brace
  • Weeks 4–6: Wean off crutches, improve range of motion, and strengthen quadriceps
  • Months 3–5: Start running exercises
  • Months 5–8: Start pivoting exercises
  • Months 6–7: Return to practice
  • Months 7–8: Return to competition

Definitely should be off crutches within the first 2 weeks. Doctors want you weight bearing (with a brace) as quickly as possible. I had my acl surgery and went back for post-op the next day and surgeon told me to start walking asap.

what grade? 1, 2 or 3? there are different levels of ACL injuries is my point..from sprain to full tear.

Grade 1

  • Mild damage to the ACL
  • The ACL is stretched but still provides stability to the knee
  • Also known as an ACL sprain
Grade 2

    • The ACL is stretched and partially torn
    • The ACL is loose and can't provide full stability to the knee
    • Also known as a partial tear
Grade 3

    • The ACL is completely torn in half
    • The ACL is split into two pieces and no longer provides stability to the knee
    • Also known as a complete tear

The article says torn so it appears to be grade 3.

If he had surgery to repair it then it's a moot point. But it definitely wasn't a 1

There is a big difference in repairing a partial tear and a full tear. There are different levels of partial tears. It could be a little rip, a big rip a medium rip. Its why they break them down like that. The news oversimplifies things and does not get into that they just say ACL tear because they know most people won't get it or care. Thats one reason why some guys come back way faster than others. Have you ever noticed when its one of those ACL tears you can diagnose during the play as a guy on your couch those guys rarely come back fast? Because those are big obvious serious tears..

Think of it like this whats harder to fix a rip in your jean or coming back from full-on Jhorts? WIth the rip you can maybe patch it and people would only notice at certain angles. Once you go Jhorts you're never the same.

I've had surgery for both and the recovery was similar for me. He's still months away from being ready but at least he'll have the best care available

Well the only upside to this is that we may get him for two more seasons. He will likely miss a third or more of this coming season and never really be 100% all year. So… why not come back as a senior and really shine before the draft. You’re still getting paid, be one of the best corners in the country.

did you get autografts or allografts (cadaver)? If autoqrafts were they patellar, quad or hamstring? All 4 options have different problems and side effects and recovery times. As far as I have been able to find for athletes Patellar is the most common and safest with Quad being the new technique.

Over a decade ago, my daughter had 3 acl repairs (a hamstring-based repair failed) and the cris-cross patellar one seemed to be strongest. THEN she played 2 more years of college soccer. But, I am sure the science has advanced beyond what we had back then.

Yes, this is that unique situation where a player of his caliber would benefit sticking around. That being said, he could have a quicker recovery and play next season. It's certainly not unheard of, with this type of repair, for a player to recover sooner than later. We'll see

First was patellar and it was miserable (but a while ago). Second was just a torn acl with a cadaver and it was really quick. Third was to repair the first which was now loose. It wasn't that bad but a bit longer than the second due to some meniscus repair. Yeah my knees suck 😒

When I tore mine it was 9-12. It was a complete tear and had to either get ligament from my hamstring or cadaver. Cadaver was shorter time because I didn’t have to PT an ACL and hamstring But ok. But I’m not a young, athlete like he is.

Also idk when you tore yours, but they’re getting better at repairing them all the time

I probably won't get an answer here, but did you tear yours paying football? Just curious.

Such a UT thing. Truly a kick to the nads. "Supposed to be back"? No way I take that risk. One has to think we try and bring in a corner as insurance, no? Who on the roster would be at the point of starting in his place if he's not fully recovered or still trying to catch up on conditioning? Beasley? McMurray?
