A biceps tear is a pretty serious surgery that requires approximately 3-6 months recovery time and varies depending on whether or not the tear was at the origin of the bicep at the shoulder or insertion at the elbow. Typically, if it occurred at the shoulder, it would not require surgery. Given the circumstance of a professional athlete, they would and post-surgically would require about 2-3 months for full recovery. Most likely, it was a distal biceps tear at the elbow, which is a little more serious and could take up to 6 months to return to full throttle activity. My biggest concern health-wise as a result of the injury is weight. Being inactive for 3-6 months will result in massive muscle atrophy and weight gain. He was slow to begin with and if hes any slower it will not help improve the run stop the Packer's need. Unless they can get him for under 1 million, I do not think this would be a smart move for TT.</p></blockquote><p></p>
