For those who don't know, this is the story referenced in the comment. Tennessee lineman Jacob Gilliam hopes to play on injured knee - GoVolsXtra StoryIs he gonna pull a Gilliam and try to play?!?!?!
I know the above posts are most likely sarcasm but I'll say this anyways.
It would be nearly impossible to recover in time to play this season. Gilliam coming back is one thing because he doesn't do very much cutting as an offensive lineman. However, to play the PG position which requires a ton of lateral movement and cutting would be nearly impossible no matter what kind of brace you put on. When I tore mine a few years ago it took nearly 8 months to get back to full steam. Another 4-6 months for me to be fully confident on it again. I tore mine again in February and am 5 months removed from surgery. Still not cleared to cut on it. It sucks for BL, hopefully he can continue to mentor the younger guys.
