Shouldn't he be back earlier? The original time table WITH a 2nd surgery had him back in December-January (3 month recovery).
I mean, he should take as much time as needed but wouldn't shock me if he's back for SS if he doesn't need shoulder surgery.
I guess it just depends on how quickly his rehab goes. Surgery is always a last resort so if it's 3 months of rehab vs. 3 months of surgery recovery then it's the same net timeframe, but one is a much more attractive option.
Ah, I see.
