One positive thing is that I didn't have any Colts players in my fantasy lineup this week, so I did quite well.

 

I had Jacksonville's D and Ezekiel Elliot: Thats 66.4 for Elliot, 54.0 for Jacksonville. Psh, I also had Tyreek Hill for 52 points in Yahoo FF

No procedure is 'guaranteed' to be a complete success, but ACL reconstruction techniques continue to advance and evolve.  in 2015, there were over 1500 papers on the ACL... the most researched ligament in the body. This does not necessarily mean Hookers career is over, or he is a journeyman safety when he returns.  New techiniques offer the chance to not only return, but at a high levl of performance.

 

Some sites on advancement of ACL reconstruction-

Remember, I say there are 3 components to a players success in returning after major surgery-

 

1. Technique and skill of the operating surgeon

2. Skill and ability to motivate and advance the patient in rehab

3. The desire and commitment of the patient/player to staying on course in recovery /rehab.  Not getting behind, nor going 'ahead on their own'.  But strictly follow the plan/exercise to their maximum ability.

 

I also wan to caution folks not to 'overreact (right...) to the fact Hooker's ACL surgery is delayed from 1-3 weeks or so.  This is typical and dependent upon the Grade of MCL tear.  Hooker will be PUP in training camp, like Luck.  also like luck, he might be activated off the 2018 Active/PUP before the season begins.   So we hope for the best here.

 

 

Didn't Honey Badger have a similar injury in his rookie year?

I think Tyrann Mathieu  had an ACL and LCL and Hooker currently has an ACL and MCL back then.  But if your point is they both had multiple ligament knee injury... then yes.
