Jerry is quoted as having said the Jaylon's nerve just started firing.
If the muscle is only able to move NOW, Jaylon is NOT playing this year.
The rehab is a long process.
If we want to see Jaylon play while being 100%, let's hope that Jerry is just 'simplifying' things.
The nerve cell has been 'firing' all this time because it is still alive.
When he says 'firing', he probably means the muscle is able to do a lot of good stuff.
For the muscle to be able to do a lot of good stuff, that means the nerve regenerated quite a while ago.
That would be mid August, when things slowly started to work based on Dr. Cooper' estimate.
That would happen be about 6 weeks before Jaylon's happy tweets started.
Dr. Cooper said 9-15 months for full recovery knowing that the nerve only takes about 7 months to get there.
Doing the math, that is 2-8 months of rehab AFTER the nerve gets there.
To clarify, it is the link (axon of nerve cell) from the nerve cell to the muscle that was affected.
In particular, the portion of the cell from the knee to the muscle died.
Until the nerve axon regenerates back to the muscle, the muscle is paralyzed.
During this regeneration, there is more and more feeling down the leg as the axons regenerate towards the muscle, as reported by Jaylon even in April.
This regeneration is what takes about 1 inch per month with a 1 month delay after the surgery.
This was posted before about someone who suffered a similar though somewhat worse recovery injury as Jaylon. This guy is running without an ATO/brace 9 months after injury. His recovery is not yet complete. Ever after the nerve makes connection, it is not an on/off result but slow recovery:
"Running after getting out of my Carbon-AFO. This was 9 months after the initial injury. Dorsiflexion, and eversion were non-existent directly after injury due to blunt force trauma to the right knee, medial side, causing ACL, LCL ligament tears and the peroneal nerve to be crushed. 9 months later, the nerve has regenerated on its own and I am able to jog/run without AFO assistance. I am completely out of my brace at this time as well. Strength and range of motion are not fully recover, but are slowly making progress. Notice the heel hitting on the right foot due to lack of RoM and strength. I am getting better every few weeks!"
