Typical recovery makes regular-season return unlikely
Good news for Rashee Rice following surgery, as the ACL, meniscus, and MCL didn’t need to be repaired. (NFL Network – Ian Rapoport)
Nerdy Football Analysis: The typical timeline for a return to action following LCL surgery is four to six months, which likely ends any hope he will return during the regular season. With that said, no official timeline has been given yet. JuJu Smith-Schuster played very well in the team’s Week 5 victory and should be one of the most sought-after adds off the waiver wire this week.
