Not sure of time frame for recovery with that particular injury but tendons do take a while to heal. At least with that injury the other knee structures are hopefully intact and unaffected.

Really depends if it's a partial or complete tear

Patellar Tendon Tear Recovery Time in the NFL

Typical return-to-play timeline: 9–12 months

General Phases

0–6 weeks: Immobilization and early motion

6–16 weeks: Strength and movement restoration

4–6 months: Running and controlled explosiveness

7–9 months: Football-specific drills

9–12 months: Return to games if strength and confidence return

Even after clearance, performance often lags behind early.

Good info Willis, the confidence mentioned will be paramount as to his time frame for getting back to his pre-injury abilities.

Torn Patellar and ruptured patellar are very different. I've had both and ruptured my L Knee patellar twice. If it was ruptured, he won't be back more than likely. Torn? he'll be back towards the end of the year.

Epidemiology
  • Incidence
    • rare
      • affects < 1 per 100,000 people annually

      Yes, I understand that he was performing a relatively strenuous activity compared to the general population.
      He is also a high level athlete who is in elite physical condition compared to the general population.
      Just seems like an unusual injury which occurred during a no-contact period of practice.
      Surely with all the high level facilities that Tennessee athletics has, there is not a problem with the practice turf ??

Actually a rupture is just a grade 3 tear which means completely torn. A tear is either partial or complete (rupture)

We were the benefactor of a good transfer class into the secondary and a really talented group of freshman. Let's see if these guys are willing to complete menacing tackles. The days of tackling with a shoulder bump and hoping they fall has got to be over. Even if the tackler is a true freshman, when the offensive guy feels the hit shake their teeth, they're gonna be looking for the hit rather than the ball. We haven't had this kind of "tackling with intent" in quite some time - make em' worry and you'll make a difference. This assuredly offset some of the inexperience - we will have to play the new and young guys. This sounds too much like "we already know this". But, just think about our tackling, am I wrong?
