The Jets Doctors are saying that Chad could be back as soon as 2 weeks, But with the injured rotator cuff, It could be more likely that that 2 weeks is more like 4 wks best case scenario. A rotator cuff is a dificult injury for a QB to overcome on his throwing arm because of the violent throwing motion needed to put velocity on the ball.
If you've had the injury, Which I personally am presently dealing with, then you know that a Bruised Cuff can linger on for at least a month before the arm is pain free and 100%.. and maybe even longer for a professional QB to be able to perform with acuracy while putting Velocity on the ball.
The Doctor in this article looked at how the Injury happened on tape and he says the way that Chad fell and the way he lost use of the arm, is consistent with a partial tear which more likely would require season ending surgury.
If it is a best case scenario 4 weeks down time I can see the Jets having major struggles to win for the rest of the season starting with this week with a tough Ravens Squad.
