It's a coincidence that the same injury to Aaron Rodgers was on the national TV evening news ~2 days ago.
And now he just had his surgery & is optimistic about making a comeback.
We all take healing for granted as Jana & others do in the article, but I've read that in some cases it can take up to 2 years to regain full mobility.
It just means that it can be an ongoing issue & not simply an "I'll be back next year as good as new."
The player may be back but only time will tell when they'll be 100% & pain free & fully recovered.
I can only hope that she enjoys her down time & doesn't suffer any anxiety over it.
