@nickgallodpt: Terry McLaurin’s season is over with a torn patellar tendon, reported today by sources. This tendon connects your kneecap to your shinbone and is essential for straightening your knee and generating force. After surgical repair, rehab initially focuses on protecting the tendon, controlling swelling, and gradually restoring knee motion. He’ll likely use a brace and crutches early on, depending on his surgeon’s protocol. Over the following months, physical therapy focuses on rebuilding quadriceps strength, improving single-leg control, and eventually progressing to running, jumping, and explosive movements. For an NFL receiver, getting back to full-speed sprinting and sharp route cuts is the real test. A return to high-level football can take roughly six to twelve months, his progression through rehab will determine the actual timeline. #terrymclaurin #washingtoncommanders #commanders #nflfootball #fantasyfootball
