I was very surprised to see him moving that well already so that does bode well.
If playoffs are the goal, starting January 13th, that means an accumulation of nearly four months of connective tissue capacity building.
Is that truly enough time for the load bearing capacity to be fully restored from a biological healing perspective? What is fully restored for him? It was already sub-optimal to begin with. His age is also a major factor in recovery duration, right?
Return to play is one thing. Getting re-injured is a whole different story, especially at the playoff level of competition. I think he’ll get back on the field, play well for a game or two, strain it which will lead to guarding. He’ll continue to play but it will affect his accuracy and ability to evade. Call me a pessimist.

Watching the Speed-Bridge procedural video was quite informative. The speed-bridge will likely become the standard of care repair, at least for athletes with this injury. My assumption it that this procedure appears to be a keystone element to Rogers care/case. Time will tell whether his durability is up to the task, but he looks pretty good, given the post surgical time frame of recovery.

Pessimist!
Haha... hopefully I’m very wrong.
