If it's a "simple" ACL tear, and it does look like this one is, the repair is straight forward and it's just not the concern for an OL that it would be for a skill player...

To add to earlier, it seems like he just got some really bad advice. Makes you wonder what kind of medical personnel is on hand advising the team and the players. From the sound of it, whatever they have isn't too competent.
And they bad thing is they won like 53-0. Totally unnecessary for him to go back into the game.
Anyway, as Earle said, the good news is a simple ACL shouldn't affect him that greatly, especially with him being an offensive lineman. Having the surgery in late September, too, is a lot better than having it in late November or December.

unless it is a storm drain ofcourse...and then depending on the type of drain...Actually, you "grade" roads with a blade road grader. You don't put grates in them...
Thanks for the updates..We're behind & pulling for ya 100% Bradley..We can't wait too see you dominate when you get to Bama Big man..
LOL! I generally think of OLs as pushing everything out of the way, as opposed to digging trenches and installing grates...unless it is a storm drain ofcourse...and then depending on the type of drain...
Here's an update in Bradley's own words from facebook today.
The power of prayer is amazing! First session of therapy 1st day after surgery and already 2 weeks ahead of schedule! Its amazing what God can do when you put your trust in Him! Thank everyone for their prayers and concern for me it means the world to me that I know my community is behind me 100%! Thank yall so much!
That's great news. He already seems like someone that doesn't mind working hard and leading by example and that's qualities that UA wants to see coming into the OL next season with so many leaders leaving. Great addition to this class.
I am so looking forward to this big boy suiting up for the Tide. :BigA: Glad to hear his rehab is going well.
When he committed with Alabama he wasn't that highly ranked, but from what I read he appeared to have that blue collar work ethic that has worked so well for us in the past. His injury is unfortunate, and I believe it might result in a red shirt season but I fully expect him to be a starter one day.
I talk to Bradley at least weekly and he always reports being ahead of schedule on his rehab. Saturday night he reported that he is 6 weeks ahead of schedule with his rehab. He is walking well and actually looks a little bigger in his upper body. He hasn't been sitting around. While he is rehabbing his knee he has been working hard on his upper body too. He will be a special player at Bama if his character and work ethic is any indication.
feel free to keep us posted on his progress from time to time. Is he still planning to report in the spring?
