Here is a quote from an article I read "One study found that at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, 50%, 72%, and 84% of patients were eligible to return to play, respectively [64]. However, it was found that only 38 to 65% of players who underwent surgical treatment for a lumbar disc herniation were able to return to the same level of play as prior to the injury [65]."

So basically best case scenario he has a 72% chance to play at start of season, and a 65% chance to play as well as he did before the injury. I would consider that an injury risk.

Here is a link to a video discussing Caleb Farley since you seem to think he is low risk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1jVe3EvHNY&t=110s this Dr. disagrees.
