Notable QB achilles
 

Dan Marino
Vinnie Testaverde
Kirk Cousins
Aaron Rodgers
DeShaun Watson

By no means a comprehensive list…hard to find internet mentions of injuries to run of the mill, B level players. No one cares about the Curtis Painters of the world.

But, all of these guys…I know Watson is a huge question mark…came back and played at a high level.

Recovery time seems to range from 6 months…if you have the bigliest, greatest rehab in the history of rehabs, to 9 months if you’re really lucky and work your butt off, to 12 months, which is pretty much the long end of projections.

So, if all goes well, and you're a cockeyed optimist, he could be back sometime in September.
