Will Ryno return to pre-injury form?

That's good to hear. I'm holding my breath that there aren't any setbacks and that his youth helps him recover better than Manning. I just hate it being up in the air with so many unknowns

Ryno should have a full recovery from this surgery. I don't think that Manning is a good comparison for his recovery. Manning plays football in which he takes approximately 30 big hits a season, where as in basketball you may take 5 hits like that all year. Second, Manning throws a tonof passes each year. Overhead throwing is one of the most stressful activities you can perform with your arm. Shooting a ball is not nearly as stressful, nor does it require the overall strength and conditioning of throwing. Third, from what we have heard, most of Ryno's symptoms have been pain related. Manning's symptoms also included significant motor neuron damage that was effecting his strength and ability to throw. Finally, Manning has had multiple procedures done on his neck and this is Ryno's first procedure. Research shows that success following surgery, especially when it comes to high level function, decreases with each subsequent procedure. This is what makes Manning's season last year so incredible.
