We will just have to wait and see. The good part is it’s really early. We have a long time to get him ready. …We have to be really diligent about the process right now. ...” Stay tuned. We'll be following this one closely. In the meantime, those with imminent drafts should be aware the average recovery time for hip surgery can be nine to 16 weeks. It's also worth noting others (most notably Brandon Marshall) have played effectively through similar issues.
