Remember when Wes Welker tore his ACL? He wasnt right the next year, but year 2 he took off. Wes got hurt MUCH later in the year than Jamaal, so my thought is we won’t see Jamaal back to himself till the 2nd half of the year.

In the ATL game his 46 yd run would have been an 80 yd TD run in 2010. It just takes time. Its not like he looks horrible. Buffalo manhandled our line up front. He’ll be back, just not right away.

Ive had this injury 3 times with in the spend of 3 years and its the toughtest thing ive ever had to do, there’s alot of mental issues that come along with the physical . I lost lots of speed and lateral movement , and one of my surgeries was done by the dr that was the 2008 usa mens dr for the Olympics , just have to train hard .

I think he’ll be fine. He looked like he had plenty of speed and cutting ability in the preseason and the Falcons game. I just think the team as a whole failed against Buffalo and they brought him down with them.

It probably is knee fatigue..he should be fine with rest..I had an acl and menicus tear the hardest thing to get back was the change of direction that’s gonna take time to get back on his rebuilt knee…also I’m amazed at all the guys coming back this yr from acl and not wearing a brace crazy
