From Persons mailbag section.  Is it me or is this worded a bit curiously?

 

Brown seems to be recovering well from his surgery to repair the meniscus he tore in Week 1 against New Orleans. Brown said his rehab started two days after his surgery in September, and it’s intensified the past few months with work on an exercise bike and anti-gravity treadmill.

Brown’s goal is to be back for the opener. “I’m doing what the doctors and trainers are allowing me to do at this point. No rush, just trying to get back,” he said. “I would like to be able to be there when the team gets ready to play in September.”

things are going well and looks like he's going to be ready to play in september so obviously something is wrong. 

of all of the 3 major parts of the knee, acl, mcl and meniscus, as I understand it the meniscus is the easiest to come back from.  I had mine shaved about 10 years ago and was back to normal in a month.  Granted it wasnt torn completely just partially and I was 210lbs.   I would have thought by now he would be 100% and working out normally seeing its 8 months out from surgery.  Like I said it just seems like its worded a bit odd.  Something to probably keep an eye on going into camp.

 

this is saying 3-6 months is the extreme

Had mine scoped ~15yrs ago and my recovery took ~90 days. There was a lot of loose cartilage floating around in mine though when they went in and they had to do more cutting/shaving than anticipated.

DB is also double the weight I was then as well. Big guys usually take a little longer to recover from those lower body injuries due to there being more mass for them to have to support.

I got lucky and my surgery was totally elective as it wasnt that bad yet.  But if I had waited it probably would have been like yours with a 3 month recovery.  Knee surgery fuging blows and its still not 100% as if I twist it a certain way it def feels like bone on bone or something

Every injury is different but Karl Anthony Towns came back in a month and a half in 2024 from a partial tear and surgery.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
