Yes but we do not know how this recovery is going. He may be on the way or the nerve isn't doing anything. All we can do is guess based on vague references.
I am just saying that when January rolls around and Smith is still wearing a brace, my guess would be a future surgery. Of course, I have no idea if he is wearing one or not ATM
there is no 100% certainty.
the good surgeon said 9-15 months for 'full' recovery but did not promise what full means.
if the nerve axons did not grow the necessary 6 inches in 10 months, something is probably very wrong and they probably would have operated.
there has been numerous articles mentions Jaylon saying the sensations are getting further down his leg as time goes on, for what that is worth.
fwiw, the happy tweeting Jaylon does not sound like someone worried about the lack of progress and spending the rest of his life in an ATO
since he got his 2nd round contract, he already owns the ATM.
