You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
I had ACL replacement surgery (plus an MCL and meniscus tear) at age 50 and was back playing ice hockey in less than 6 months.How long does it take for an NFL player to recover from an ACL?
Once the ACL is replaced (and youre still under the anesthesia), the doctor bends your leg to make sure it holds up. Post surgery, recovery and therapy all depend on your pain level tolerance. The quicker you push yourself, the quicker youre back.
With today's medical advancements, and a typical NFL state-of-the-art facilities, he could be back sooner.
