I’d agree. That’s like 6 weeks from now. From my experience, 6 weeks and he should be okay. I guess it would depend on the severity and number of ribs damaged. I’d imagine he’d still be feeling pretty good by the start of the season.
5 weeks ago I cracked some ribs doing pretend roundhouses out in the driveway with my wife. I’m still in pain and still can’t sleep on my left side. Never went to the doctor though. My point is, it hurts.
