    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.

    This is very true.

    The poster BleachedAnusDawg makes a good point.

    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.
