Never heard of anyone have a recovery from ACL in 2-3 months especially if surgery is involved. There is always a first.
I didn't have my acl repaired til about 6 months after I tore it. I was in very good shape at the time of the tear, and continued to train hard after the tear with rehab. I could see in some cases being able to get back if te tear was not a full tear. I want skiing several times with mine on a complete tear, and honestly was not going to have the repair done, but it started slipping on me causing more meniscus damage.
I was leg pressing over 700 and squating over 400 with a strong knee brace just prior to my acl surgery too.
This is the kind of example you want your younger players to see. You work towards your goals no matter what.
I wish he could make it back but it's just not realistic to expect someone to recover from ACL surgery in 3-4 months. AP is kind of the holy grail of ACL recovery and it took him 6 months to get back to practice. Only way this happens is if it isn't a full tear and they strengthen everything around it and use a massive brace.
