Jamaal Charles tore his ACL last year in week 2 and he's back to what appears to be 100%.
Rashad Mendenhall tore his ACL last year just before the playoffs. He didn't start playing much until week 5 of this season, but he looked good in his first game.
Terrell Suggs tore his in May, but expects to be playing for the Ravens in November. Only a 6 month recovery, which is aggressive.
I don't think we need to worry about Cushing coming back next year, he will have 9-10 months before meaningful practices start. He's a warrior, and I'm sure he will train extremely hard and make himself ready to return ASAP. It just won't happen until next year  |
Suggs was an Achilles, worse injury to come back from than an ACL I believe as far as long term effects. Cushing will come back strong, we should see him in training camp day 1.
