Jalen Ramsey Responds: Can CB Beat Recovery Timeline and Play Effectively?

When the news of Jalen Ramsey's meniscus surgery broke, Sports Injury Central released an article highlighting our opinion on Jalen Ramsey and his recent torn meniscus in his left knee. 

Our panel of doctors believed that it was likely that he would miss the rest of the season due to the severity of the injury and other defensive backs who have had similar injuries. Derwin James is a recent example of a torn meniscus causing a defensive back to miss the entire season.

Dr. David Chao reiterated that point recently on the I AM ATHLETE podcast:

Ramsey's injury is tougher for defensive players as they are the ones who are assigned to react to offensive wide receivers and tight ends, complicating the recovery timeline and not allowing them to return at less than 100%. 

Ramsey disagreed:

Coach Mike McDaniel, when asked about Dr. Chao's comments out of context said, “I would hesitate to boldly tell Jalen Ramsey what he's going to be.”

Time will tell the story if Jalen Ramsey can beat the projected timeline and return effectively in December. Miami plays the Commanders, Titans, Jets, Cowboys and Ravens in December.
