I trust Dr. Andrews and Gus are going to be very cautious, and if Carl does get hurt again it won't be due to lack of medical foresight.

Was his ACL fully or partially torn?



I think this is the key. I remember everyone saying it was a minor tear and something that almost went unnoticed. You don't recover from a complete ACL tear this fast.

Any Ortho Surgeons in here know what reinjury rates of partial tears are and recovery tmie?

It doesn't matter if it was a partial or complete tear. You can't rehab a partially torn ACL. The only way to repair it is to replace it and the problem with that is it takes 6-9 months for the bone to fuse to all the new hardware inside the knee.
