don't take this the wrong way, but you don't understand healing and how the body works. What your saying really doesn't matter and training high level athletes is actually easier than training your everyday person because of their conditioning. I'm an ATC that has worked in the medical field for 14yrs and rehabbed several ACLs. The ACL is what they call "vascularized" after about 6 weeks which means it's receiving blood flow and basically healed at that point. At that point in rehab, that's where you really start to shift rehab and start focusing on strengthening of the muscles as long as his ROM is good and obviously symptoms like pain/swelling are gone. Then in regards to strengthening and progressions, you give a conditioned athlete 4+ months to train and get stronger, that is more than enough time to be ready if they are consistent and the training staff knows how to push them in a safe way. Putting them back out at 6 months isn't ignorant by any means. But to that, it ultimately comes down to how the athlete is not only looking, but also feeling and confidence level. The last hurdle these guys have to overcome the mental barrier of being hit again. Some have no issue with it and others can struggle.
