huskerfan500 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 From what I've heard about this injury/surgery (torn patella right?) is that it is a 6-8 month rehab. I've heard most reports that we'd be lucky to see him back in November...if at all. Just because he isn't walking like he has a prosthetic leg doesn't mean that he's OK. Even after months of rehab and looking OK, that still doesn't mean he can run, cut or take contact. Ask Matt Herian. I don't know where you heard that 6-8 months all I heard was 4-6 possibly back in August Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Word is, he is waaaay ahead of schedule! This comes from a source who spent some time with him over Memorial Day weekend, who just so happens to be a family member. So I trust what he has to say about his time spent with Bowman! Big thing is him not trying to come back so fast that he really fu#*$ himself up further!!! He's already going to be on borrowed time with that knee so he really needs to watch it!

I don't know where you heard that 6-8 months all I heard was 4-6 possibly back in August After the article posted regarding Purify mentioned Bowman I wanted to re-visit what we were talking about. Best possible scenario is that he makes it back in September (that would be 6 months). However that is if he is able to take any/all stresses put on the knee. He will be lucky to see much action this year. From WebMD on patella tear surgery: "For tenuous repairs, whether for acute or chronic tears, a more conservative program is used and tailored to the situation. Generally, strict immobilization is recommended for 6 weeks followed by range of motion exercises. Strengthening exercises are then started approximately 3 months after the repair and followed shortly thereafter by neuromuscular retraining. Return of quadriceps bulk and strength usually is delayed, and return to premorbid athletic activities may take approximately 9-12 months." Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Everywhere I read, Callahan and other coaches and players are saying he is coming along good. Hopefully he hasn't puched himself too hard to come back so he re-injures it early though. Quote Link to comment
