Different injuries.
An athlete coming back to game action from an ACL inside six months is something you can see happening. Because we already have seen it with Kyle Schwarber, amongst other athletes sooner than Kyle. A player on a team I support did his ACL in March 2024 and returned in September.
But six months from TJ surgery? You would be hard pressed to find anyone returning to action before 12 months. We wont see Steele back this year.
