Correct. Burrow is in a completely different situation than I was, but just to provide some further information on PCL injuries. I tore my PCL in high-school and the doctor recommended not having surgery and simply rehabbing it. By making my legs stronger, the rest of my leg would be able to support my knee just fine.
It has worked without any issue. I have played in numerous flag football leagues, basketball leagues, ran 5ks and a half-marathon with no issues. Now, all of this seems silly when comparing to an NFL player but I just wanted to point out that PCL injuries are relatively minor and don’t necessarily need surgery to repair. Given Burrows situation, I am sure they probably went ahead and just fixed everything
