4-6 weeks in a sling while the labrum reattaches to the bone. 3-4 months before heavy lifting or overhead use. 6-9 months before full recovery.
Too much PT and you can re-tear the labrum. Too little PT and you can develop a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) which can take 1-3 years for full recovery.
I don't doubt that everything you say is true, but when there are general ranges like "6 to 9 months" don't people who were in elite physical condition before the injury and have access to all the state of the art elements of rehabilitation usually come in at the low end?
I could not believe that Hopkins was ready for training camp after being injured in January.
