I suspect after the surgery he had to keep that left arm/shoulder in a sling and couldn't move it. You do that for a period of weeks, that joint freezes up quite a bit. Nothing a premier athlete with top shelf training/rehab can't break loose, but it takes time.
That's where my concern regarding his recovery time has always been - how long will it take to get full range of motion back in a shouler that's probably been immobilized for at least a month and maybe longer?

The joint that was injured doesn’t move much , but stiffness/loss of strength in the arm might be an issue depending how long it was picked down but should come back fairly quick. The main issue might be the ability to withstand the contact.
