One (and the only one) physical therapy site I went to said that doing everything right you could return to normal activities in 4-6 months. He tore it in July. I don't remember hearing how bad it was, but if it wasn't really bad and he's doing everything right (and they're right about the NFL rules), maybe he can actually make a complete recovery and be back for the playoffs. I'd hate to see him come back too early and either be useless or get hurt again, but it would sure be nice to have him.
Yeah I was looking at some of those sites and saw the same thing. Regardless, I'll trust the Rams' medical staff to make a smart call on this. (I will NOT trust them to be forthcoming and give us much info, though. They wouldn't even confirm whether or not Cam had surgery, nor what type of surgery it was!)
Gotta say Cam looked fantastic on that Oct. 21 video. If he is looking that strong and quick on Oct. 21, then it wouldn't surprise me that he could *possibly* be ready for the playoffs in 3 months.
IIRC, Jourdain Rodrigue confirmed that Cam had surgery shortly after his injury on July 20. So if Cam were to attempt to be ready for a divisional playoff game on January 22/23, that would be almost exactly 6 months of recovery time.
Bringing Cam back would be a huge calculated risk. But if the trainers give it the ok, I could definitely see the Rams taking that risk.
Still amazed that the 'new' IR rules would even allow for the possibility of Cam coming back in postseason... would love to hear more confirmation of this!
