My wife had her shoulder done, and like your situation, it was from a career of being a nurse and decades of lifting patients. She had several things done as well. They used 5 incisions to correct everything in her shoulder. Fortunately, she was able to find something else to do, with the same company that allowed her to not have to do heavy lifting anymore and she actually makes more money now as well. A fortunate outcome, considering she had been a nurse for 30+ years. 

I do recall that she was in a lot of pain for a while after the operation and she absolutely hated all the rehab. Off topic but i can see how people would get addicted to pain killers because she was on a constant cycle of them to deal with all the post op pain. 

Rehab was no fun.  However, as an aging strength competitor, I had to embrace the rehab.  I made it my workout for 12 weeks.  PT sessions twice a week, and an hour or more every day doing the prescribed PT exercises in the gym, the other 5 days per week.

The toughest part of transitioning back to actual training, was exerting rotational force using the shoulder.  For example, the "clean" portion of a clean and press.  I suspect that this will also be an issue with Jonah Williams, as cleans are fundamental for linemen.
