How long is ACL recovery? (IR question re: Wentz)

[rotisserieking 34]

So now that Pederson confirmed Wentz tore his ACL, wondering if I should IR him in my keeper league? I currently have Luck on IR and was thinking of dropping him and keeping Wentz next season but now this.

 

I seem to recall ACLs taking (conservatively) about a year to be back at 100% - is that right? If so I'll just drop Wentz.

Typically 9-12 months. AD was an exception not the rule. It's possible he's back by season opener in 2018 but that's if everything goes on schedule

 

I'd IR him

Though it should be noted that an ACL tear isn't as big for a QB as it is for a RB or WR.

 

Carson Palmer tore his in the playoffs in 2005, and came back the next year with 4K yards and 28 TDs.

 

Wentz may be more hesitant to run, but I wouldn't worry about his throwing ability.

Throwing ability aside, I'm just wondering when he might be able too return.

He should be back by next year. ACL recoveries are getting shorter and shorter.

Luck is finished. Dont you dare IR him. Cut Luck and IR Wentz

Dead.
