I think he’s worth looking at because he’s a really good lineman. I wouldn’t get carried away about him being ready for the season

My research said 6 to 9 months on average, and the sources that said 9 months were older studies. With medical technology advancing constantly and NFL players with money like Fisher having access to the best of it, I look at the shorter end of that average as most likely, though of course I'm sure the Colts and any other team would want a full medical workup before signing him. That said, LT and DE are both incredibly deep in this free agent class, so the Colts can walk away with all their needs met prior to the draft, and would be smart to do so IMO.
