You think of fractures and cracks, and think four to six weeks [for recovery], and that's not what we're dealing with here. As soon as this calms down and he's OK with it, you let him go back out there. The risk is -- and the reason we're doing this -- you don't want to run the risk of rupturing his patellar tendon because that's what attaches down there. To call it a fracture is a huge stretch.
