Jayson Tatum has not ruled himself out from a possible return from his Achilles tendon tear suffered last May. The recovery timeline of an Achilles tear is typically at least one calendar year.
“First thing, I haven’t said I’m not playing this season,” Tatum said.
Tatum was first spotted without a walking boot or brace in August at a New England Patriots’ practice.
“The most important thing is a full recovery. And I’m not rushing it … at all,” Tatum said on “First Take.” “But also, I don’t go to rehab six days a week for nothing.”
