Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 727309">Reports say the surgery was performed during the week of May 7.  Training camp opens July 26.  That's about 11 weeks recovery time.  That's consistent with the best case 6-8 week window for a bone graft.  The bone graft is consistent with the fact Biegel's earlier surgery involved placement of a screw to fuse the bone which evidently did not solve the problem.The Packers always report best case scenarios.I would expect him to be in a boot after a bone graft in his foot. It's not a question of telling the truth or not.  I've had cadaver bone grafts in my jaws, a common thing in preparation for dental implants.   On one occasion I inadvertently referred to the bone grafts as "bone marrow transplants", a slip of the tongue, while knowing full well the difference.  You are reporting something 4th. hand where something can get lost in translation.Worst case?  The graft does not take well at which point another surgery may be recommended or a "play with it" decision might be made.At this point, 6 weeks after the fact, the surgeon probably has a good idea how the graft is working out.</blockquote>
