Tightrope ankle surgery requires at least 6 to 8 weeks to be recover from it says on google. Are you freakin kidding me?

That would have him missing all of our big games.

He’ll be good for the playoffs.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

He'll be in draft prep by then.

People close to the program say it’s a 2-4 week recovery. Tua came back in 3. If everything goes bad it’s 6. Don’t know where you got 8 from. What website?

Since the fixation is flexible, there is no need for a second surgery. Rehab may begin much faster and return to play may happen as soon as 4-6 weeks. This timeline was made famous by former Alabama QB Tua, who played in the national championship game just 28 days after surgery on his syndesmosis.

Feels like an outside shot at playing against Alabama.

Bama would come around the 5 week mark. More than a outside shot. Seems pretty likely from stuff reported around the team

Those 6-8 numbers wouldn’t surprise me. Medical practitioners are going to be very conservative in most cases, and for good reasons. Athletes in programs like ours will be in much better shape than your average patient, will have tons of resources to help optimize their recovery, and people seeing that they do exactly what they need to in order to heal. So it’s not super surprising to see a faster recovery timetable.

every procedure is different as well as recovery..who knows!

Dang you Akron.

classless crew led by joe “give” Moorhead……POS

It was stupid having him in the game after he tweaked it first. He’s probably done. I wish him the best in his pro career.

Damn..... we really needed him for LSU. Their DBs look pretty good.

Probably WebMD where you can put in your symptoms of a cough and a headache and find out you have gonorrhea.

Shoot he may be back for lsu. But I have faith in bru Hyatt and Keyton to get the job done if not.

Also their dbs are their weakness. Their front 7 is what’s gonna give us trouble

 

[LittleVol]

He’ll be good for the playoffs.

That's what i was going to suggest.

Get 100 % and then play a few more games before prepping for the Combine.

Time for Keyton to shine!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

28 Days from say Wednesday last week, so about 19 Octoberish, UTMartin Game with KY and UGA to follow.

Keyton, Bru and Hyatt will all be mentioned as potential 1st round draft picks by then! lol
