I could not believe that Hopkins was ready for training camp after being injured in January.
The range is a guide. Each individual will advance at their own pace. Which is why I wrote most likely. It is also why I listed three different players who didn’t return during the general range for various reasons including blatantly lying to the fans who then questioned Braham’s toughness and motives based upon deliberately incomplete/incorrect information. (Sound familiar?)
The most common cause of a labrum tear in young people is a traumatic injury involving a shoulder dislocation or partial dislocation. (Like a WR diving for a ball, landing on their elbow, and driving the humerus up into the shoulder joint.) Which means the joint capsule is damaged. The two most common labrum tears are SLAP and Bankart lesions. The most common SLAP lesion involves a tear of the biceps tendon. Up to 50% of Bankart lesions include a glenoid fracture. So I can almost guarantee there was more damaged than just the labrum tear. I would at least suspect more damage until proven otherwise.
