ACL ligament update

[kan...@aol.com]

So, reading about great NFL players; and of course Jerry Rice came up. 

He tore his ACL. And he played THREE months later. Now that's just crazy. But he was notorious for a brutal workout program that was year round. Other athletes joined him to try to keep up. 

So being in shape clearly influences recovery. Hoping that helps Mahomes. I won't wager a three month time table. But I'd put him at the shorter end of the 6-12 schedule usually touted. 

BTW, shortly after Rice resumed, he took a minor hit and fractured his kneecap. Apparently this is potential side effect of ACL repair. Who knew?
