Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5062582, member: 13446"] Regarding an ACL: Six or Seven years ago, the standard would be to push athletes back into the game 9 to 10 months after surgery. Now, you are correct, it seems to be closer to one full year before being activated. And, once they are activated, although physically cleared and told that 'the knee is 100%', in essence, go out there and stress that knee as if the injury never occurred, there always is some degree of apprehension to do so! Azzi ruptured her ACL in practice last year on November 14th. This coming season UConn opens against Boston University on Thursday, Nov. 7 before hosting South Florida on Sunday, Nov. 10. The Huskies host Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday, Nov 20, and Holy Cross on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Doesn't seem that the team really requires Azzi to play in those games and still walk away at 4-0 at that point in the season. [/QUOTE]
