KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rashee Rice had posterolateral corner surgery on his injured right knee, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said on Monday.
The timeframe for Rice's return is similar to if he had reconstructive ACL surgery, Reid said. Ten to 12 months is generally considered a realistic return time after ACL surgery.
"It takes a while for that to come back,'' Reid said. "He'll get into his rehab and get rolling on that as we go here.''
Rice was injured in a Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers when quarterback Patrick Mahomes accidentally collided with his knee while the two were chasing a fumble that followed an interception.
Rice entered the Week 4 games leading the NFL in receptions with 24. He was second in yards with 288. [Reply]
How long does it take to recover from posterolateral corner reconstruction?
The recovery from posterolateral corner reconstruction varies based on the extent of the injury, your age, and how well you follow Dr. Ramkumar’s post-operative instructions. You can expect to use crutches for 2-4 weeks and wear a knee brace for up to six weeks. You can begin toe-touch weight-bearing with the crutches and progress to full weight-bearing activities when Dr. Ramkumar gives you the okay. You can resume normal household activities between 4-6 weeks after surgery. A full recovery to sports can take up to 9 months. [Reply]
Up to 9 months but hes a world class athlete that will get the best pt possible. It won't be 9 months people. His suspension is the biggest concern. [Reply]
