That is what I was wondering too, Matty. Maybe he didnt have a complete tear, maybe a significant partial tear maybe? I mean, you woudnt necessarily need a cadaver ligament or artificial. Maybe a quicker heal up period. I dunno, not an ortho surgeon.

Hopefully he's not on the Derrick Rose rehab plan.

Jake doesn't strike me as the type to keep sitting once he's been cleared by doctors to get back out on the field aka Derrick Rose...

That said, I'd be ecstatic if he was back by October. That would be a 7 month recovery which would be quicker than AP's incredible comeback. Does anyone know how bad of a tear Jake suffered?

Great explanation, McMurty. Rules can always be confusing esp. when it comes to the NCAA.

which brings to my next question. Why apply for that redshirt after 2010 instead of waiting in case you get injured?

Ryan didn't play in 2010. The redshirt was automatic. Every scholarship athlete is given/allowed five years to "use up" their four years of on the field/ice/court playing eligibility. A sixth season is ONLY granted to athletes who have had two full years of eligibility wiped out by injury.

I thought he should be eligible for a medical redshirt/hardship, not sure where the other information is coming from, maybe some sources???

A 6th season of eligibility can only be granted if your original redshirt was due to a season ending injury as well. Ryan was not injured in 2010. It was just a regular redshirt. His final year of eligibility will be next season (2014).

was he actually injured in 2010? Seems like a waste to use it just because you don't play, and then get hurt and not be able to get it back.

Ryan was not injured in 2010, which is why he's not a candidate to apply for a 6th season of eligibility. If he were injured in 2010, and that was the reason why he redshirted, then he would be eligible to apply for a 6th year.

if he came back and played the osu game, wouldn't that risk his med redshirt? Does it matter when you play the games in regards to applying for it?

Ryan isn't eligible for a medical redshirt.

Why? I guess I just assumed it was automatic...

He already used his redshirt in 2010. You can only be granted a 6th season of eligibility if your original redshirt was injury-related, which Ryan's was not.

There's also the mental aspect of it. Look at Derrick Rose, he's been cleared to play for weeks and is scared to get back on the court.

I would be as well. One of my friends tore his ACL. He was cleared by the doctors. Like a week later we played backyard football, he received the first kickoff, did a little juke... tore his ACL again. That was brutally sad to watch. This was during high school and it kept him out of his 2 varsity years of football.

Peterson and Welker were two of the biggest freaks in terms of how fast they were back into "live" action. A lot of guys are up running and cutting again in 4 .months but it's a matter of the mental aspect that takes over.

I had ACL surgery October 25, 2012, and just played basketball for the first time this past Sunday. Running was fine, I was very cautious jumping, and sliding my feet defensively was just not the same. So 5 months later, I am about 75%. Granted, Jake Ryan is a lot better athlete than me and will also have some of the best reconstructing his knee and leading his rehab efforts, but it's still a long process.
