Seriously, this is a very odd and concerning situation. I have to wonder what JW and his family is thinking.
How often does a HC tell the press over many consecutive weeks that the player will likely be ready “next week?” And it’s not like TH to be unrealistic in such discussions. At least I don’t think so.
I suspect that all the measurables — like the MRI — revealed nothing unusual as he prepared to play after the second procedure. It’s up to the patient to disclose what issues he is having. Perhaps JW either didn’t do so...which would be understandable because he’s not a doctor and he had been “fixed” twice, or he did and Texas prepped him to return assuming that some post surgery discomfort was normal.
Like I said, pretty odd.
