With two years of experience and a clean bill of health, Carl Lawson can emerge as on

It takes about 2-years to recover from ACL surgery...  So time will tell if he takes a step and then another next year. But I think we are all rooting for Lawson and our DL to recover from last year.

I never knew about these in-depth stats (especially from college... he went in the 4th?)...

Great Post...

No offense, but I think that is on the pessimistic side, But, it depends on the injury severity. If only ACL, it will be not as severe time table to 100%. It is when MCL and meniscus tears along with the ACL that get you to the 2 year full recovery.

Does anyone know if he has anything else repaired besides the ACL?

He also seems like a workout warrior so would not be surprised if he is back to 100% by week one (optimistic view I know). These guys can get a  lot done rehabbing 5 to 7 days a week for 9 months.

As far as career threatening, today they can reconstruct to make the ACL stronger than it was prior to surgery.
