I had a bothersome cuticle injury on my right thumb a few months ago. It took about 10 days to fully heal. I was able to play golf less than 24 hours after sustaining the injury, but it required a bandage. I was at about 99% for the first week. And, it took the full 10 days to get back to 100%.

Don't kid yourself.

You rushed your recovery from the injury. You'll never be the same.

Hasn't a nagging injury cost him and the team enough this season? We get it. Some of you do a few Spartan runs and dabble in some cross-fit so you're all orthopedic rehabilitation and S&C specialists. Congratulations on using the elliptical machine 3 weeks after your surgery.

Yes, you can come back from a meniscus tear on a quick to fairly quick timeline, but there is more to it than just getting the "you're good" for just the meniscus.

For big-time D-1 college football he'd be pushing it given wear his total conditioning will be and his nagging injuries which clearly haven't progressed much either.

After what he just went through this year, do you really expect the medical staff and coaches to roll him back out there for the bowl game? Insanely short-sighted idea.

A torn meniscus sounds a lot more intimidating than it really is. My dad had the same injury. For the most part, recovery is relatively short — usually a few weeks.

For reference.. Lonnie Walker had a torn meniscus and was out about 6 weeks before he actually practiced again. You can walk on it 1 week, sometimes less after the surgery. The timetable depends on whether they’re repairing it by sewing it back together, trimming the edge of the meniscus, or fully removing it. We’ll never know the extent of the injury and which surgery he had.

Oh ok, so your father had a long football career? Nice

I don't understand the confusion. Depending on the severity of the tear, the recovery time isn't extremely long. No matter what happened, he will definitely be back in time for spring ball. Maybe not 100%, but he will be playing. People who don't play football recover quickly from these things. Imagine how well he will do with all the resources devoted to him.

I’m ok with Him coming back for spring ball. I was not ok with him coming back for the bowl game like a few dummies were suggesting. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Do you not know who Lonnie Walker is

Is that a trick question? Am I Canes fan?

Coaches no, medical staff without a doubt
