Steve Angeli: Torn Achilles

[Ringostar57]

5 and half months is a long time to go. Gradual rehab response is critical.

I'm not concerned yet but obviously if he's not a full-go for summer lifting/conditioning that will be a huge issue.

I think he is already lifting and conditioning. Not sure what he is doing on his legs though.

Hmmm. Really hoping he heals. Maybe he's just used to favoring it and his hitch is more of a practiced gait, than something that really requires a light step to prevent it from getting re-injured.
Who knows. The success of the season may hinge on his heel.

I have seen a video of him working out this winter with the team? It’s where Fran is talking to him while he lifts some weight with his legs.
