Is there a typical turnaround time from where he is now to completely healthy? If I'm not mistaken the biggest unknown was getting to where he is now. Is that correct? Or do I have that wrong? Sorry if this has already been covered

You've mentioned that this type of palsy only effects his ability to lift up his foot. Beyond that his power and driving off the foot isn't effected. But why are people in the media saying he's finally started to get a feeling in his foot/toes? The way you say it doesn't seem to match up to that issue, unless the media is overblowing a small aspect of the recovery or misquoting the team

The nerve for foot drop is not the nerve for his plantar flexors. He will have driving power in his calves in no time.

How are all the naysayers that said this was a bad pick in the draft, and that Jaylon would never play for us? You have no idea what kind of player this guy will become this year. Watch and learn. :lmao2:

Just speaking from the science and medicine point of view, the reporters for our 24/7 circus frequently have very little knowledge of their subject. They may indeed review a reputable research publication, only to misunderstand and misrepresent its content.

Regarding JS, few have reported with any expertise on neurapraxic peroneal palsy. The majority of foot function is intact in this condition from day one. Of course, his was complicated by the complete ACL/MCL tear, but that is a separate injury with a shorter recovery time.

So, what we read and hear is more geared toward attracting attention than it is about accuracy and clarity.

Because the common peroneal nerve provides both motor and sensory innervation. Therefore, an increase in sensory perception along the distribution of the nerve would represent favorable progression. Typically the progression is from total numbness (anesthesia) to partial sensory recovery with/without underlying "tingling" sensations (paresthesia) and eventually hopefully full sensation. This is a continuum and the sensory recovery can reach its endpoint anywhere along that continuum.

The draft will tell the story I think, if they draft a linebacker in the first 3 rounds, then I'm not counting on any contribution from him...
