Buck Travis

An ACL takes a full 12 months to recover. My daughter's surgeon (fixed her ACL) was John Baker, the team doc for the Stars, SMU, and formerly for the Cowboys. He said that they treat pros differently from amateurs to get them back on the field sooner. (No play, no pay.) You can get back into the game sooner but you'll pay for it when you're 40 years old. My daughter's rehab took a full year to get back to competitive condition. She never got comfortable turning (D1 softball) while hitting but is fine running in straight lines. She's done 8 marathons since college. I wouldn't expect to see Baxter on the field before November. No need to put his NFL prospects at risk.
