re: **UPDATE** Sheldon Rankins with fractured fibula, likely out 6 weeks

I'm a physical therapist. Here's the deal. If he has surgery, your looking at 2-3 weeks for the incision to heal fully and allow him in the pool. During that time, he can get PT and ride a bike basically for cardio. The Fibula is a non weight bearing bone, but that doesn't mean it isn't important and it doesn't mean that he won't have other soft tissue/joint restrictions to deal with initially. If they push him to fully bear weight quickly post operatively, they risk complications. They won't do that IMO. Then somehow he is supposed to be in game shape soon after being cleared to bear weight then run?That's my thought process. Look at Jalen Mills for LSU last year. Was he back at 100% at the 6 week mark, no way.
