It took him 10 months to recover from his Lisfranc injury at BYU.


The article I read on the BYU injury said he recovered fairly quick. If 10 months is quick not good.
BTW I read the printed article on the Larry Holder tweet and he insinuated that between the Saints going all in on the Watson fiasco and Hill's current liscfranc injury that it appeared that the team had moved on from the Hill experiment.

Update: The Taysom Hill experiment at QB is over for the #Saints, per @LarryHolder


Hell maybe I’ve been too hard on Dennis Allen because moves like this have me believing in him.

Seriously re-evaluating Payton with all these terrible QB choices he not only made but stood by.

The packer don't even have trust in him... So why waste capitol and we can resign Winston or trade for garopollo

I don't know what article you read but it was wrong. Hill had surgery Sept. 11, 2015. By May of 2016, Hill still wasn't right. The goal of the BYU training staff was to have him game ready for that August.

quote:

For Hill, that timetable could have meant a return to full activity by spring football—or just in time for BYU's opener. The gap between those dates seemed a lifetime, but as spring approached, Hill began to understand patience. With past injuries—he's had seasons ended by a knee injury and a broken ankle—he'd felt recovered after four or five months. But at the start of spring ball, he was severely limited, and even in late May, eight months out, he's blunt: "I still don't feel like I have a normal foot."


quote:

Hill's early rehab was fairly standard, if such a situation exists for Lisfrancs. After his Sept. 11 surgery by Dr. Timothy Beals, he wasn't able to bear weight on his right foot for two months. 


quote:

On Jan. 12, Hill had the hardware in his midfoot removed, but during surgery, his doctor discovered that one of the two screws had broken. Telling the story, Hill points to a jagged mark on top of his wide, size 12 1/2-foot. "This scar used to be tiny," he explains. "They went in the top of my foot, and they carved out two different areas in my bone: next to where the screw came out at so they could get the little drill in there, and … around where the screw was, so they could get it out. Afterwards, my foot was so swollen, so black and blue."

The screw had broken at some point between Hill's three-month X-ray and its removal. Such instances are not uncommon.




quote:

Hill's screw extraction represented a minor setback, but his rehab continued on a loose schedule through spring football. When he couldn't use his foot, he built upper-body strength—Hill has the figure, Mortensen says, of a "college Captain America"—and he gradually moved from running in a pool to running on land.


quote:

The goal, Mortensen says, is for Hill to be 100% by August, and he reminds the quarterback that this is about playing in September

Taysom is going to miss all of training camp & preseason while beginning the season on PUP. You can pretty much book it being he suffered his latest Lisfranc in January. He probably hasn't even had his second surgery to remove the hardware from his foot yet.
