He def had a set back… 9 months is the typical date when returning back to sport… he’s at around 11 months post surgery. 

Gus Edwards just came back Sunday. Out since Sept 21. Every player is different. The 9 months as a deadline or there was a setback doesn’t hold water.

Is putting him on the season ending IR in play?  I’m starting to think it might be 

Why?  They are clearly taking the smart approach of slowly ramping him up to full speed.  If getting him fully 100% healthy and in game shape means another 4 weeks on the inactive list, that's fine with me.  We need him in January.

You usually wait at least three weeks to have the reconstruction to let the area be less inflamed. 

Yes I did both my ACL and each knee that was the case

What is a normal “setback” for an ACL?

 

Like a sprained ankle you can re-roll it and the swelling comes back.

 

Is this the same for an ACL? Where there is soreness?

I am no expert and I am sure there has been a ton of development since my experience

 

But I would imagine a 'setback' could be anything from structural integrity issues (which would be major imo) to something like hamstring or quad soreness (still important as the muscles stabilize the knee) which while still being important to the knee would not necessarily bode poorly for a full recovery

Then why doesn’t Sean just say this? His cryptic, secretive comments during pressers raise eyebrows of anyone other than pandering media who refuse to probe into this

If the recovery timetable is a truly fluid situation (which it seems to be), then why make a promise that you may not be able to keep to appease a few whiny fans?  Coach McDermott seems to be handling it perfectly.

I would think maybe things like scar tissue or some swelling, although likely what is happening is everyone has different recovery rates and the Bills do things out of abundance of caution in terms of injuries so I would expect they would give him some extra time even after he gets cleared.  Part of that is also making sure he is ready from a football standpoint after not being on the field for almost a year at this point too.

I hope now all of you who were saying it was possible for Tre to be ready by the start of the season realize how wrong you were. Heck, I was taking crap for saying before the Chiefs game that McDermott wouldn't play him until this Sunday and even that wasn't right.

Again, why doesn’t he say this? He seems very secretive in a bizarre way
