Doctorate Program in Physical Therapy taking elective courses in neurological/nerve rehab. I've been practicing and interpreting nerve conduction studies, electromyography and nerve regeneration for the past 2 semesters. Pretty cool stuff.
Then again it takes the worry away from Jaylon. There is only one type of nerve injury (potentially a second) that would prevent a full recovery in Jaylon under 2 years.Both of these nerve injury types would be easily identifiable by the surgeon on Jaylon.
A nerve fires, in an "all or nothing" pattern. It will either fire, or it won't. So Jerry is still hyping it up. There is no "kind of firing" .
He will be able to fire his nerve soon. Very similiar to the roots of a plant, the nerve will regenerate its axon (the root) and then regenerate its myelin (the covering over the axon) , then all will be good. It just is a matter of time before it happens, but it will happen.
He will be able to run just as fast as before, but he will need to practice turning the muscle on and off through timing/activation training in the offseason, so any hope of the superbowl is doubtful.
