It's a, it's a pretty sick, you know, it's a, it's a relatively normal surgery, but it had him out for, I don't know, 12, 12 weeks, something like that.

Right.

So like he came back and was able to start playing seven on seven on that ankle in May.

Okay.

Like, could he be out there playing seven on seven where he just has to take a drop and fire a football?

Yeah, he could do that.

By June, Dia was able, this is a whole month of like rehab and working just to get like stability and all the little, you know, muscles in his foot and stuff firing again.

By June, he was ready to start like

shaking a little bit and doing a little like, you know, cone drills, more things change of pace and stuff like that.

Not just linear straight line stuff, right?

So you're already like a month in with him being back and you say, oh, he should be able to play.

And he and his rehab guy's like, no, no, no, he can't play.

He can do that, but he can't play play yet.

Now, June, we've just crossed another hurdle.

Is he ready to play yet?

No, because he's not up to speed.

He doesn't have the bounce in his legs yet.

Lord forbid he takes a hit on that ankle again.

So that doesn't happen until June.

August where I look at Dia and Dia's like, Hey man, I feel like I can really do it again.
