Reader has already had the surgery and started rehab. Absolutely no hint of the injury being career ending. He said rehab is going better this time (though as a FA, what would he say, so, grain of salt there). Still, he did not look worried, in the slightest. PFF isn't worried. Spotrac isn't worried. They all think he is gonna get paid.
He'll be ready by October, if not sooner. 9 months is 9/16.
This career ending talk is, in my opinion, much exaggerated. Still a long way to go. In two months we will have a better idea.
Im not saying DJs career is over whatsoever but I just listed 6 players whose careers were ended by this injury. Im not sure if they had complications or if some are worse than others, would have to ask fellow poster burreauxs, I have zero medical knowledge. Im DJs biggest fan on this message board. Hopefully I can get some updates in a few months.
