Its simple. If you have an injury and the recovery time is 12 months minimum, then you can easily say he won't be healed in 8 months. At this point, we dont officially know the diagnosis or prognosis, so its all speculation. However, recovery times are generally pretty well-established. Adrian Peterson was an incredibly rare exception.

9-12 months typically, all depends

And Terrell Suggs after he tore his achillies in May. Hopefully Griffin will be an incredibly rare exception too.

Wes Welker had a quick turnaround from his ACL injury too. Injured in the last game of the '09-'10 season, was back for the season opener in 2011 and caught 122 balls.

Theyre not going to start testing for HGH next year right?

We all know that RG is an "incredibly rare exception". Hopefully in the healing department as well.

Does anyone know how long he was out when he did his ACL in college?

as someone else said, he went down in the 3rd game (out of 12) so he had the whole season basically, plus the off-season. The real question, which I doubt we could get an answer to, is when did he and his coaches know he was back and good to go.

He's an insider but this situation is probably being played close to the chest.

Httr 24-7 is very reliable.

Theyre saying ACL and PCL in that artical. Whats really worrisome is that i guess the Redskins are saying that Andrews wants to do further exams because theres issues distingushing between old and new injuries in a knee with previous ACL and LCL injuries. Maybe his LCL is hurt too in addition of ACL and PCL tears?

article says 9-12 months, where did you hear 14 months?

If Griffin has torn the ACL again, he would likely require a rehabilitation period of nine to 12 months, putting his status for next season in jeopardy.

There is a big difference between 9 months (meaning possible early season return) and 14 months (miss whole season).

they just updated it. when I first read it after it was posted it did say RG3 could possibly miss 14-16 months.
