He's down within the first 4 games next season.  Bank on it.

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

Know what you mean here.  Ive had both of mine done and each time I was back to normal relatively quickly as well.  I thought the same thing but then after consideration I concluded that maybe my and Derek's normals are not the same thing.

I am not/was not 300+LB and my job and recreational activity did not entail me having to violently engage other 300+LB men with twists, bends and quick bursts in a combative manner.  I think those nuances may play a factor in getting him ready for the season and may lengthen his process compared to my recovery.

I think this is overblown and they are just taking it slow and cautious.... which given other players comebacks too soon im all for
