I doubt it. I had the same condition and operation when I was 27. Took me about 2.5 months to fully recover. Its much harder on the big guys, and when you consider his line of work, Id bet there is no way he's ready week 1.

I'm no doc but back/neck surgery has progressed greatly in just 10 years. Often you leave with a small scar about an inch...

There's no reason to expect him to be any less effective rushing the passer...

Because they all had career years.

You can go in expecting them to keep ascending (and you'd have a good case with Houston given his career arc), but that'll have you in line for a serious letdown.

FTR, I'm saying their production will likely regress, not that they'll be worse players for some reason.

He's an elite athlete with the best medical care on earth, and nothing to do but rehab and rest. It's a fair assumption that your experience means nothing.

That makes me feel a lot better. If some random scrub on a KC message board can recover from this injury in a couple months, I bet an elite professional athlete has a good chance to do so in half the time.

Peyton Manning's issues started with a herniated disc.

It was May 2011, and Manning had checked into Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for surgery on a herniated disc, a tear in the protective ring in his neck that had undermined his performance after 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. The procedure was supposed to fix it, but now when he pushed himself up in bed, his right triceps was unable to bear his weight. Trying to contain his alarm, the most eminent quarterback in the NFL asked his surgeon what had happened to his arm. The surgeon explained that the disc had been pressing on a nerve. It would take some time for the irritation to subside, and for the nerve and muscle to come back alive.

But two weeks later, Manning’s arm still felt weak. By this time he noticed that the grip strength in his hand also appeared to be affected. “If any other part of your body has some weakness you go, ‘Well I can probably manage,’” Manning says. “But when you’re a quarterback and it’s your right hand, you’re certainly concerned far as being able to do your job.” His doctors discovered that he had re-herniated the disc, and Manning returned to the hospital for a second surgery, this one in virtual secrecy.

Hey, drooling reerun, Peyton's problems started when he nearly got his head torn off.

We see what you're doing here and **** you. Go toss your boyfriend MagicHef's salad.

Try to make me laugh as much as possible.

He can't because he doesn't actually counter any take he doesn't agree with by using any substantive reasons. It's just curse word laden insults to other posters. Party like it's 1999.

Poe being less than 100% to begin the year absolutely puts a 1-3 start in play. There's still no one beside DJ among LBs that have proven they can defend the run... and there's the whole issue that people here are totally glossing the **** over in that there's an assumption DJ and DeVito come back with any semblance of being useful on the field. Until they demonstrate that in a regular season game, there's no proof the defense is going to stop the likes of slapdicks like Kerwynn Williams running with impunity.

Your issues started when your father didn't pull out.

A normal person recovery time is about 2.5 to 3 months.

I bet he's back by the 3rd preseason game

I think they are going 1-3 because 3 of the teams the Chiefs play in the first 4 weeks are better.

I remember back when I was in high school I pulled a quad muscle. That shit put me out of commission for like a month or two. I couldn't run for shit until it completely healed up.

Around the same time Priest had pulled a muscle, I think it was a hammy, and I freaked the **** out assuming he'd have to miss a month. The guy was out there tearing shit up the next week with no issues.

[BossChief]

They should probably go sign Barry Coefield.

We haven't even had a preseason game yet. We have no idea really, who's gonna be anything this year.
