My hopes have been dashed immediately.
My GoogleFu varies based on the severity from 1-6 months for recovery.
I have to assume he has the minor one based on:
1) Not a key player to play through a real injury and not just get the surgery and see him in the following season
2) I guess that's it. That and I assume we'd lean on protecting our draft asset and hope that Grant or Semi could step up for someone that was out of the rotation.
So I'm guessing his recovery will be more in the 1-3 month timeline and since next season won't start till 2021 he should be just fine or near just fine around the start of the year.
There is of course a chance it already was the worst case 6 months version and they couldn't hurt it any more than it was... but he didn't seem to be wearing a wrap and even then I think they would have just had him get surgery and get started on recovery so he can be available as much as possible next year. So I think it's unlikely it's the 6 month bad case scenario recovery type of ligament issue.
