If it was a displaced fracture

with screws and plates, it will take about 6 to 8 weeks of healing with his age, physical fitness and current treatments. I would expect him to be on the practice field in shells within 5 to 6 weeks running through no contact skill drills if he wishes. The fracture, barring complications, will be healed within two months. I could see Myles being on the field by mid October. He will be in a cast and sling for several weeks to stabilize the fracture, but will still be able to maintain some conditioning that does not require a lot of balance...speed walking, slow jogging, leg work on equipment, etc. I am no doctor; this info came from my friend who is an orthopedic surgeon and has dealt with many fractures such as this.
