I have no medical training, never torn an ACL, but when I looked it up at the Mayo clinic website, it said this about recovery times from ACL injuries: "After surgery you'll resume another course of rehabilitative therapy. Successful ACL reconstruction paired with rigorous rehabilitation can usually restore stability and function to your knee. Athletes often can return to their sports after eight to 12 months."  If Chryst had surgery in January, it is possible he might be ready to play in late August/early September.  I won't make any predictions here on his return date, but I don't think we should rule out that Chryst will be ready to go against USC (we likely don't need him vs Rice, so why risk an early return).
