No one knows for sure. Everyone is pretty much basing their opinion on what the doctor said back in March or April before the draft. The main positive is he said the nerves were not damaged, but elongated, and in sort of a 'sleep mode'. The whole point was having to wait for them to wake up. Beyond that everyone is forming opinions on his chances or lack thereof from the rest of that interview. They're basing timetables on the 'inch per month on average' quote, but it's not the same for everyone. But even if the nerves do start firing up, it's not like the Cowboys will announce it. Its not something you tell the media...it's just something that happens behind the scenes and they transision him from rehab to practice. The only hints we'll get are from people talking to Jaylon (which I'm sure he's been told to limit his responses in regards to his recovery), or his tweets. Since he knows of the reaction of his previous tweet, this one makes it even more interesting, since he's not the type of personality to troll.
I'd also add that I'm betting he got a directive from the team (via Rich Darymple) to not give any definitive info on the nerve recovery because it will open up constant and endless inquiry and speculation into its progress from the media.
