If I had to guess I would say a large part of it is mental and it takes a while to be able to play again with the same confidence you once had.
For example, I played basketball all my life and my sophomore year at LSU I tore all the tendons and ligaments in my ankle while going for a rebound. Had to withdraw from the semester, have surgery, and a very painful rehab. I was 100% after a year and still am to this day (injury happened about 12 years ago) but it took me a long time to be able to play and jump on a court without fear that I would do the same thing to my ankle.
I imagine when you have millions of dollars at stake and a short career window, it must be worse for an NFL player. I would think he's back by next week. That would be my guess anyway

That would have happened months ago on a normal timetable as well.

He makes Derrick Rose look like the toughest son of a bitch in sports history.

For sake of clarification, you sustained this injury while playing for LSU during an LSU game?
