Just saw on twitter that he will need a special exemption because be has played more than 33% of the season. I hope he gets it. His second ACL tear in one calendar year??
Yikes... not good considering he was already coming off an ACL reconstruction from his senior year... I just don't understand the rationale for hurrying kids back from surgery, especially after an ACL reconstruction. I've seen multiple studies of NFL players status post ACL reconstructions, and not only do their stats suffer in the first season back, but many never truly recover their pre-injury explosiveness. I hope our training staff (and Tony) take his rehab seriously and give him enough time to recover, rehab, and prep for next season.
