Burrow’s injury is very similar to Palmer’s injury and if he doesn’t have any set backs and is as dedicated to rehab as Palmer it is reasonable to believe Burrow could be ready at the start of the season. That timeline is a helluva lot more reasonable than people claiming he won’t be ready until 2022.

Not that he wont be ready ... You cant rush something like this either.. I'd bet any thing if there was an over under on his return it would be week 8, 2021 season..

WT actual F? I missed that one. That might be the craziest thing I've seen said on here. You know what that's saying....


Good on Deshaun by the way.... I've always liked that guy, ever since his Clemson days. He's such a good dude, and helluva player. He's like Warrick Dunn off the field. You can't get enough Warrick Dunn types in this world.

He's always been INT prone. But he also throws for A LOT of yards and at least as many TDs as INTs, and that's a lot!

He was exciting to watch at FSU, but the tendency to turn it over was there even then.

When a Bengals players don’t return according to fan expectations it’s usually because the Bengals weren’t forthcoming about the true nature of the injury.

There is so many of them..... People always blame the medical staff, but rehabbing seems to be a big part of it too... Listen,  I want Burrow back asap too, but not at the point where he isn't 100% and has some better Oline protection...

The take is, the Bengals don't always tell the truth about injuries. They never really have.

We need that acorn once in awhile...

Yep, better than Finley or whatev else we got.

Yes sir Wyche my good old buddy Noles fan.

You started this thread stating, “The consensus on 99% of them is he wont be back till 2022.”

Quote:You cant rush something like this either..

Sure you can . . . up to a point. ACL rupture were one career ending. Now they’re not. Improvements in surgical techniques have reduced the recovery time. Improvements in rehab techniques have reduced recovery times. In general NFL players recovery times are reduced compared to the general public for the same injury.

You would be wrong.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29638200/

Quote: The mean time to RTP for athletes with ACL/MCL injuries was 305.1 ± 58.9 days,

The mean time for return to play is 305 days with a range of plus or minus almost 2 months.

Guess what? That’s not 2022. And Week 8 of 2021 would be the over. And there is still a scenario he could be ready for Week 1. And that’s based upon actual data from NFL players with multi ligament knee injuries.

Which ligament did AJ Green rupture in his ankle last year?

Deltoid ligament? Or anterior talofibular ligament?
