No reason to suggest he wouldn't be ready for the beginning of the 2017 season. He could take the whole calendar year from his injury on for recovery and then be full go for next offseason. Unless the recovery goes poorly he should be full go by the start of 2017 after having a whole offseason and preseason to get back in football shape.
