So it seems like our only area of disagreement is the meaning of the concept "to be back" as in your earlier statement: "it's the norm to be back before a year". Your definition appears to be "fully cleared by his doctor". My definition is back to 100% of where you were before the injury. Or, when talking about Tommy John surgery, better than 100%.wrstdude mostly in agreement with me:
There's a senior football player who I coach who is back this season after tearing his ACL 6 1/2 months ago-fully cleared by his doctor.
Sometimes if you're good enough, coming back at 80% is still better than the alternative. As the article said, every body is different.
