Doctor on Buffalo Fanatics discussing Tre White recovery - link removed

[CorkScrewHill]

I removed the link as many pointed out reasonably that a random doctor watching some video is not a great means for judging Tre’s recovery. Sorry for the waste of time post.

Yeah, I never expected him back until mid-season. Where did the idea that he could be back week 1 come from? Just the fact that the Bills haven't brought in another vet or was there an actual Tre White update that I missed?

Making a prognosis on the basis of what?  News reports?  I'm glad he's not my doctor.

Well the coach and DC have said he is on pace or ahead of schedule that was set after the surgery, but they are not rushing him.  I don’t know, but it seems like you would target the start of the season as it was nearly 9 months out.

 

Maddy Glab and Chris Brown have both talked multiple times this summer that in discussion he is ahead of schedule and looking like a plan for being activated for week 1.  The general consensus from the people around the team and guys like Sal from over the summer seems to be that he will be ready for limited action week 1.

 

Mark Gaughan in July reported that after several discussions that the most recent group of players have been seeing activity at or earlier than 9 months including multiple college players at 5 and 7 months respectively using newer recovery techniques and he was pegging the season opener as his comeback.

 

Basically everyone associated with the team or with team contacts are saying he is on or ahead of schedule, but they are not telling you the exact schedule.  We will see where he goes, but with the timing and the new rehab the Bills have - like 0 weight treadmills in the water - he has already been doing things that in the past could not be done until much later.

I trust this staff to put him out there when he is ready.  If they have shown anything, they have shown they err on the side of caution with injuries like this.

After the bye week has always felt like the most realistic timeline…

[Royale with Cheese]

Week 8??  That would put it as an 11 month recovery time?

I’d like a 2nd opinion.  

Instead of a thigh doctor, is a knee doctor available?

[mikemac2001]

Let him recover - I’m sure we will be fine they will play a soft zone to the the weak CB and have a scheme to cause confusion at first then cover up over the top

I think dr Kyle trimble was more high on him being ready. He’s on joe Marino during season but was on cover 1 recently

Until we hear about a setback he should be practicing soon. I think the Bills take advantage of the 4 week IR however.

Why not the PUP. You get 2 weeks less for IR but it costs a roster spot. Will say that McBeane has shown a willing ness to do that to immediately use IR for some players.

A doctor or Tre Whites doctor. Huge difference.

[Southern_Bills]

Eh, the guy is making an educated guess for attention. He knows more than me, but when it comes to knee repair surgery that isn't hard.

 

If Tre needs to be out to week 8, so be it. But I'd let the team doctor and his doctor (if they aren't the same) make that call.

I guess it depends on how close he is.

I think he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[BillsFanForever19]

Everyone says doing work before 9 months post surgery is playing with fire. He had his surgery 12/10. That would have him returning to practice 9/10. They aren't going to just throw him straight into the starting lineup on Game Day. He'll probably need a week or two of Practice.

 

So I see Week 3 as the absolute soonest he could possibly come back. Probably closer to Weeks 4-6 to be safe.

I don’t know how qualified he is to make the analysis, but more than me certainly. He feels that Tre is about 80% back and would recommend they hold him out until after the bye (week 8).

 

I would hope he would be back sooner but definitely care more about him being healthy for the stretch run.

yea, did you get the clicks you wanted? this dr has no clue..

There is not much I find more unseemly than doctors selling their opinions based upon nothing more than observations at a distance.
