Cam Akers did it in 6 months right? As an NFL RB

Maybe some hope? I'd be interested to see his timetable post surgery.

I believe Aaron Long is coming back from an Achilles

I'm not sure how long his recovery lasted.
I've seen 4-6 months mentioned in general.

I don't know if that depends on the extent of the injury or what. I assume that also takes into account a perfect surgery and rehab. Then there's getting into playing shape and being able to play 90 minutes three times in 8 days. The latter is probably what concerns me the most.

I'm also not optimistic based on what I've seen happen to Mike Soroka for the Braves. I know the physical demands of a pitcher and a CB are different, but it doesn't give me much hope.
