Take it for what its worth, but at the Pre-Draft event they held for Season Ticket holders, both Bradford and Long were there, and they both looked to be in terrific shape. Snead even joked about Jake Long "running" up the steps to the stage. They made a big deal out of the new equipment the training staff purchased that has aided in both of their rehabs.
It allows them to "run" on a treadmill that also supports most of their body weight, lessening the load on the joint.
All indications from the appearance, that they BOTH are well ahead of schedule. That being said, limiting Long's reps in training camp was something they did LAST year, and would fully expect they are even more cautious come July/August this year.
Are they put in a harness over a treadmill? I've done something like this before when I had to learn how to walk again after a spinal surgery, but mine was on a treadmill that was submerged in a pool.
