Ruptured Achilles repairs have advanced greatly over the years

It is common to replace the ruptured tendon with tendon material from a pig nowadays, and it turns out to be actually stronger than the original tendon

Athletic patients that have difficulty in recovery from that procedure have issues with range of motion, but those that are diligent about their physical therapy tend to recover well

The Jaguars have had a few players recover from this procedure in the past, including Marcus  Stroud

I don't think that was Stroud, he did get an ankle about a year before we sent him to Buffalo. I believe it was Haywood on opening day, who coincidentially played only a few years after the Achilles. Glad to hear they have progressed in making that injury less problematic.

Yes! I think you are correct. Thanks. [Hayward] was the guy I was thinking of. 2006 was the year. The use of the pig tendon was fairly new at that time and has since been refined/improved according to my friend in that line of work. 

Robinson's achilles should have him running by June - but full recovery and complete range of motion may require a few more months.
