I suppose it's similar to ligament reconstruction. The graft is strongest right after surgery, softens for a bit, but really heals up quick. Rehab is about restoring muscle and healing from the collateral trauma of the injury and surgery.. Surgery has advanced so much that the impact and healing time are less than half of what I endured 30 years ago. Football players have advanced technology and trained therapists available that minimize lost muscle mass, flexibility etc.

So I guess I'm not surprised. I expect to see ZTF on the field by mid season based on what we've been reading.

QB is probably the least physically demanding position on the field from the perspective of explosive movement so not super surprising to see this kid come back so soon. ZTF is a much bigger body and launching himself like a sprinter at each snap.

I remember in the early 2010’s when a UW player would tear and ACL and be out practically two seasons. Doogs on dawgman we’re always hyping up UW medicine and thinking we had an advantage and the prestige of the medical school would have our guy’s back quickly.

Meanwhile guys in the NFL like Adrian Peterson were good to go after six months.

Well AP is a freak and he was the first to come back so quickly.

Who was the kid from Georgia who played for the Niners that didn't have an ACL?

Yup except he played at South Carolina.

I was thinking Garrison Hearst but I think I imagined the injury

Privatized healthcare is amazing, so long as the systems providing such care don’t get too big.

In the UK if you’re over 50 and need an ACL repair they tell you too bad.

But yeah….6mo post op on an Achilles repair is incredible.

John Elway played his entire career without an ACL in his left knee. Tore it his junior year of HS and elected not to have surgery and just taped it down with a brace and went back out there until he was 38 years old.

Retired as reigning SB MVP and the all time wins leader as a starting QB.

Mickey Mantle fashioned his own ACL out of twine and beer labels. People are such pussies now.
