I know ACLs are much more complicated than other injuries, but I have a feeling that Timber will be back earlier than expected when he first got injured

He got those xhaka healing vibes. He'll be back early for sure

It’s just not going to happen regardless of your feelings, the healings needs time. It’s 8+ months unless Lars is used which it wasn’t in this case.

No shot. An ACL injury isn’t the equivalent to a broken bone. The slow part of the ACL recovery is the graft healing. The graft is at its strongest immediately after the surgery and then weakens for a few months before starting to heal fully. You can feel “strong” but the graft isn’t full strength for months. Notice all of the exercises he is doing are front to back as opposed to side to side.
