GREEN BAY, Wis. – A source said Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Rashan Gary is looking at between a nine- and 11-month recovery from the ACL tear sustained on Sunday at Detroit.
An MRI confirmed what the Packers immediately feared. It “could have been worse,” the source said in terms of the degree of the tear and the potential of other damage.
ACL injuries aren’t all the same – see David Bakhtiari as Exhibit A. Robert Tonyan and Elgton Jenkins were playing in games about 10 months after their injuries. It was about 12 months for running back Kylin Hill, who made his season debut on Sunday.
