Alley was devastated at first. But he now knows how common it is to return from this injury. |
Quarterbacks can come back quicker from this because we can protect them. You can't do that with backs. Alley should be back in six to nine months. He'll be running in three months, cutting by six. Then it's a question of doing that at a high level. |
We want him to return as close as he can to full motion without pain before the reconstructive surgery. That helps with recovery. We do that with ACL injuries. |
