Still see quite a few people concerned about how he'll play once he returns.


So help me with this, Lowell has had ACL surgeries on both his knees in the past 2 years and there isn't supposed to be ANY concern at all?????

I am not saying he won't be able to perform, what I am saying is that you have a two-legged horse and both those horses legs have been surgically repaired not to have concern would be foolish. Doesn't mean he won't be able to perform just means if you are smart you have a VERY good backup plan in place.

I apologize if my OP was unclear. I definitely understand the concern regarding him staying healthy. I, too, have that same concern. My post was more geared toward those who are concerned with HOW he will perform when he returns. Many posters seem to be unaware that he did in fact return after his first injury and played throughout the playoffs, the remainder of the spring, and the 7-on-7 circuit, as well as the camps. The reason why I posted the video was to show how he came back just 5 months after the tear and still performed at an extremely high level. The 2nd tear isn't as bad, so I expect him to perform just as well. He's going to redshirt anyway, so it's not like he has to be game-reasy next fall. So while I am concerned slightly about his ability to stay healthy, I'm not concerned at all about how he will perform when he actually plays.

Thanks to those of you voicing words of encouragement and support. Sad that some fans are so hateful and resentful and don't even want to give him a chance.

Any number of NFL players have had both knees done and are fine. The surgically repaired knee is often stronger than before. It's not unusual for the other knee to go out after the first injury. I forget the exact reason, something to do with overcompensation or training imbalance.
