It is not Doomer projection to look at the NFL and NBA guys who have had this injury over the past 25 years and say 75 percent were never the same.
It is basic math.
The risks here are about as risky as risks can get. If he comes back and his knee is 100 percent the same and his abilities and level of play is exactly the same, he will be one of 1-3 EXTREME outliers.

I don't care to add in people from 25 years ago because surgeries in this area have reported to been far more successful recently.
You also are including people that had the injury and unsuccessful surgery.
Chiefs determined it went well.
