Couple things I'd point out in regards to Bateman.
In terms of recovery time, you'll find various lengths. You'll find literature from 2-3 years ago that studied NFL players historical lisfranc surgeries that found the average "return to game" recovery time was actually like 11-12 months. Meaning you may not even see Bateman in prime "game form" until like an October timeframe.
Also, I've seen multiple studies on athletes that showed the recovery timeline from surgery until participating in the sport was ~30 weeks. 30 weeks would have been right around early-to-mid June for Bateman, based on an early November surgery timeline.
So yeah, I'm not really super concerned. I get the feeling that, oddly, I think a lot of people expected him to have like a full offseason program.
