He tore his ACL...

6-9 months before fully returning from something like that

What's it been? Like 8 weeks since he had surgery?

In your scenario it will have been like 3.5 months since surgery if I have my time right. Honestly hope no one would let him.

Are you asking about him running track or playing football?

It doesn’t take that long to return to straight line running after ACL surgery. The problems are with planting hard on the knee, stopping / starting quickly, change of direction, etc. and obviously contact.

Just because he’s running straight doesn’t mean that he’s anywhere near close to getting back on the football field.

It's cutting, not sprinting that's the issue.

If a coach asked me that about a kid i just operated on 5 months ago.. I would make sure he never coaches again

Thats a year ending injury, period. No ifs or buts about it

Jesus dude, straight line running is much different than running and making cuts. It’s atleast a 8-9 month recovery

We all know what happened to Bootie Miles when he came back too early. Tore his knee up and almost cost Permian-Basin the season.

People are going to crush you but it's a legit question after seeing him running.

The problem is that the ACL is surgically repaired and while he can run straight lines be can't bend or move laterally in jerking motions.

K'Lavon is 100% out for the rest of the year man.

No he's not. The video showed him running at more than a jog but considerably less than a sprint.

Yep and he feels he is far from where he needs to be:

Nope, he’s done, would be a huge risk for him to do something stupid like that
