Best case scenario, he's back for OU. Worst case, a couple weeks after OU. Both sound too soon to me.

I'm hoping he doesn't rush it. After the surgery in high school, he returned to action too soon, and it nagged him his whole senior year. Obviously it never fully healed now that he's had to go through a second surgery.

Now, obviously at Cuero he didn't have access to the level of surgeon he does at Texas, but is it that much better? I'm worried. Somebody with insight into this type of surgery, please, feel free to ease my mind.
 
Herman better start worrying about Sams ribs and whipping the Olines butts to block better and holding Sam on the running back a little, you gotta admit he takes off when he shouldn't have , if Sam goes down it would be brutal for Texas, needs to get RoJo ready to go if that happens and not pull a MB like what happen to Colt and Gilbert
 
I kind of like how things are going without him. I hope Herman keeps him out unless an injury

I can assure you he has access to the best surgeons the University has access to. This includes all the staff at MD Anderson. Yes, I am aware that's a cancer hospital, but they have excellent surgeons in all fields in their ranks.

They sent him to the nation's premier sports hernia surgeon up in Philly.

Yeah but Herman sent him to a surgeon in Philadelphia. Supposedly a guru for this specific type of surgery. If Jordan is really going to back to 100% anytime in the next month, this dude must be a miracle worker.

There is no substitute for time. Especially in this case. He is not that critical to where there is any reason whatsoever to rush him back.
