Quote:It was reported as a minor injury from the start. The second opinion confirmed that and got the ball rolling on the rehab process.

Hold on there...most assumed/presumed it was a minor injury without knowing where the tear took place.

 

The two doctors I heard on 1010xl, Kevin Murphy and Steven Lucie, said the seriousness of the injury and the length of time associated with the recovery from that injury depended upon the location of the tear.

 

Statistically it was probably going to be the best case scenario, but not a slam dunk.

 

Even with the best case scenario, he's going to be out 4-6 weeks.

 

What "minor injury" do you know that keeps a player out that long?

 

An injury to the same area caused Myles Jack, a consensus top 5 pick, to miss the last three months of his final season and to drop all the way into the 2d round of the NFL draft.

 

That's an odd fate to befall a player with a "minor injury."
