Tre' was injured on Nov. 25th and had surgery on Dec. 14th '21. Come opening day, it will have been roughly one week shy of nine months since his surgery.
Tre' will be eligible to return after 4 regular-season games from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Once designated to return from the PUP, while it does not mean he’s activated at that point, it begins a 21 day window for the player to be activated. If he isn’t activated within that time frame, he can be moved to injured reserve (IR), or released.
With regard to ACL's in general; there was a time when it was career ending. Then it was a two year rehab and today, they say it is anywhere from 9/12 months to 6/9 months, depending upon who you read and the dynamics involved. Tomorrow, it may be measured in weeks and not months as there is a new procedure in the pipeline that is currently going through trials. Something called the Lavender Fertilized ACL.
