Most posters understood the message meaning but I will spell it out for you so you can understand too
1) CJ was SEEN rehabbing which means he was physically out on the practice area. He has not been seen at practice since the injury. Last time we saw him he was on crutches and was wearing a knee brace
2) Being out on a rehab field means his injury has improved to the point that active rehabilitation is now an option. If he was still receiving passive rehab only (ultrasound, infrared, massage. acupuncture, hyperbaric, etc) he would still be in the training room. The inflammation is resolving and his pain levels are going down. Active rehab is needed before he can even be considered ready to play.
3) One can not assume any injured athlete would be actively rehabbing a week after an injury regardless of how important the upcoming game is. It simply may not be physically possible. A sprained MCL can have several different degrees and could be anywhere from a 2 week to a 3-month injury. Seeing that CJ has moved to the active portion of rehab gives hope that his injury may not keep him out of the game on the 13th.
Winning makes believers of us all
