I'm not talking about getting into shape. (Even though that's an issue too.)
I'm talking about the fact that when most people rehab, they're rehabbing so they can walk up and down stairs, drive their car, go to work, etc. In that case, yes, two weeks of rehab is a decent amount of time.
This guy isn't just trying to walk up and down stairs, he is rehabbing so he can explode his 250+ pounds down a field from a standstill into a sprint, stop on a dime, plant his foot in the ground, and use his ankle to pivot all that momentum in or out, leap into the air, and then absorb the impact of that 250+ pounds (plus maybe a 200lb guy hanging on him) landing on the ground.
It's a different level/length of rehab.
