I am pumped for Acuna’s return. But I sure hope they don’t rush this.

It's been 11 months, which falls right in line with the 9-12 month timeline for NFL players.

The key will be resting Acuna BEFORE his knees start hurting. This likely means 1 game off per week for the first couple months. Then hope he's back to MVP form in 2026.

Why does it feel like it's been forever, like multiple years. Looking forward to his return, with tempered expectations.

I hope we take it easy on him. Don't play him every day make sure he only plays 5 games a calendar week tops.

I am pumped for Acuna’s return. But I sure hope they don’t rush this.

Last time, the injury happened just before the ASB, but he was already back the next April. Maybe they are giving him additional time as a result of his struggle that year.

Of course, he may just have healed slower.

I am more referring to them not sending him to what I guess is a specialist and his doctor here says it is good to go. I mean I can’t imagine they haven’t done a 1000 MIR on his knees by now.

The og post just makes it seem like they are foregoing the recheck from his knee specialist in LA.
