Brooks had a botch in his first surgery or the rehab. It took too long for him to be cleared. Then a quick tear again…it was fuged. If he isn’t ready today…he’s fuging done.

TD had double knee surgery the last time. They took his patella tendon from one knee to make the ACL for the other. They usually use hamstring to make the new ACL, but since that failed him twice they went to this other poo. I heard he was screaming out in pain trying to make one revolution on the bike during rehab.

I would love to read about this because afaik they would not have harvested his Patella tendon for an acl repair with an NFL player.

That’s robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I guess technically they “grafted” it. His scar is bigger from taking that piece of Patella for the graft than for the knee the was repaired 3 times
