Is HGH going to help strengthen a cadaver ligament?

Other than taking some type of illegal injections to help strengthen the quad muscles on his bad knee, I don't really know how some type of PEDs are going to help him get back quicker from this type of injury. The new ligament still has to take hold & get accepted by its new body.
As far as taking illegal PEDs in general, you'd be pretty naive to think AD, & 92% of the entire nfl does not take them. Everyone is probably dirty

Well, everybody in the NFL takes PED's so I'm going to go with yes

HGH is commonly prescribed for bad injuries. I'm sure he did, but with doctor and league approval.

Did not know that. Thanks for the info. Starting to make more sense now.

James Andrews said he'd never seen anything like the muscle in his knee when he cut AP open... Take it for what it's worth
And he's performed surgery on numerous steroid users

Return to sport for ACL reconstruction can be anywhere from 6-12 months.
AP is a world class athlete with a world class rehab team and a world class surgeon. His come back does not surprise me at all.
I'm more impressed that he hasn't seemed to have even a bit or hesitancy or mental lapses.

Yes there is a chance. Honestly, if he did and they worked that well then they should be encouraged to speed up injury recovery.

No chance. In my eyes he still doesnt look 100%. He still dont have the burst he used to have. But the burst is still better than anybody else burst. And i say again in my eyes

Dunno, but we can safely say Rashard Mendenhall didn't use any PEDs for his recovery.
