What is timetable for ACL Recovery for DW?


Nov 30, 2014, 10:39 PM

If he has surgery after the bowl game as planned, when would he be available to practice again?

If I remember correctly, Chad Kelly tore his in the spring game, but then was ready to go mid-way through the next season? So 6-7 months ish?

He'll be ready to go for summer practice


Nov 30, 2014, 10:41 PM

if he has the surgery right after the bowl.

We'll be A-OK.

Half a year for the physical part is what I'm reading and remembering. They say it takes that much longer to trust the knee again. But they are talking about humans not supermen.

6-8 mths to be fully functional.. could be back sooner if there isn't much swelling

as far as the psychological part goes


Nov 30, 2014, 10:59 PM

he seemed like he trusted his knee pretty well while playing without his ACL...

Chad was aan exception. Typically it takes a year to recover from an ACL tear.
You have to allow for the healing process, and then re-build the inevitable
muscle atrophy that occurs in the affected leg. They brought Cherone Peak along too
soon, and we see the result. To fully recover, Deshaun will require, a year.
This means that probably he won't play next season. Frankly he should have
the surgery right now. Top hell with the bowl game. Let Schleussler play.
Why sell out the future for the sake of meaningless bowl game?

Sam Cooper has made a pretty quick recovery


Nov 30, 2014, 11:01 PM

DW will be back for next season. But I agree with why take a chance on the bowl game???

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If he plays in the bowl game


Nov 30, 2014, 11:06 PM

Will he be ready for week one physically?

Coots are too stupid to give medical advice

I guess Adrian Peterson was the exception too right?

This isn't the 90's anymore, huge medical advances as well as physical therapy advances.

Not to mention the doctors laid it out for Dabo and DW4: can't damage it more, can play if he wants to, can have surgery after bowl game and come back by summer.

Let's leave the medical advice to the doctors.

Nervous about the 2015 game against your coots I see?***

So what you are saying, slumdog, is that 29 days will make all the difference in the world. It is Dec 1 and we will play in a bowl that happens before Jan 1. I don't think you are thinking very clearly on this one. Watson will play in the first game of the 2015 season and will be outstanding!!

badge-donor-10yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Actually, it's 5-7 months for an athlete.


Dec 1, 2014, 8:15 AM [ in reply to Re: What is timetable for ACL Recovery for DW? ]

Not even close to 12.

He'll be able to walk after 2 months, bike & jog (no cuts) after 3 months, and after 4 months can start easing back into normalcy.

The "normal" recovery time for an ACL is


Dec 1, 2014, 7:04 AM

7 months and 1 week according to the physical therapist for Dr James Andrews (one of the foremost orthopedist around). Thus if he has surgery on say Jan 2 he should be ready for fall camp in Aug. Obviously if he has any setbacks that timetable will slip.

Mira aqui (use Google scholar):

McMahon PJ, Kaplan LD (2006). Anterior cruciate ligament injuries section of Sports medicine. In HB Skinner, ed., Current Diagnosis and Treatment in Orthopedics, 4th ed., pp. 180–183. New York: McGraw-Hill.

Honkamp NJ, et al. (2010). Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in adults. In JC DeLee et al., eds., Delee and Drez's Orthopaedic Sports Medicine: Principles and Practice, 3rd ed., vol. 2, pp. 1644–1676. Philadelphia: Saunders Elsevier.

Pinczewski LA, et al. (2007). A 10-year comparison of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions with hamstring tendon and patellar tendon autograft: A controlled prospective trial. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 35(4): 564–574.


He could be ready to play in 4-6 months, but it seems most would assert the long end of that schedule, like maybe June. Cautiously as late as August. Spring practice is certainly out.
