For those of you that were on TK with me. You might remember that DH tore multiple ligaments in his knee last november during playoffs. His surgery was in December and we were told it would be a 6-9 month minimum recovery. His team expected him to be back in mid-August, they were planning on putting him on the injured-reserve list until then.
Well he was given medical clearance in early June from his Surgeon, after only 5.5 months post-op. He did not fully practice (no contact) during his team's recent 3 week long training camp, nor did he play in their first pre-season game as a pre-caution! But it was announced yesterday that he took a starting spot away from a 6 year Veteran (stinks for the other player, but it is part of the game unfortunately). Last year he was a back-up/ special teams player. I can't believe how much I have learned about him these past 6 months. I truly saw him at his lowest and to watch him not only return earlier than expected but to grab a starting spot is incredible! He is a very determined and hard-working individual.
I just wanted to give you all an update and thank you for your T&Ps!
Re: DH Update
Thanks Kellie! He is a Longsnapper/Linebacker, he won the starting LS role and will also take some reps at linebacker.
