[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 174103, member: 1199"] Here is the issue for Brewer. I had shoulder surgery last year and learned that the surgery heals pretty fast. Depending on the severity of the break, 4-6 weeks and the bone may be almost completely healed. What happens during that 4-6 weeks that's harder to recover from is the shoulder has to be immobilized so the bone can heal. Maybe not for the entire 6 weeks, but most of it. His muscles weaken and the ligaments tighten. It will take several weeks of PT to get things back in shape. There are nine muscles or ligaments that attach to the collar bone. All have to be relaxed for most of that time. This is not trivial for any of us, but for a football player, it is critical that he be completely healed. Add to that, the left collar bone is weaker than the right. [/QUOTE]
