Depends on the extent of the tear. Some writers were discussing this after Wentz tore his, but Adrian Peterson's recovery a few years back has really skewed fans perceptions of how long it takes to recover from a torn ACL. The standard is still around 9 months to be able to start practicing again, and anywhere from another 1-3 months from there to get back into game shape. All told it's around a year from the point of surgery to being back to 100%. AP was a freak.
This was why I was so bummed about the Wentz injury. Not only does it have a chance to sewer the Eagles' Super Bowl hopes this year, but he's also likely not back until the middle of 2017 and who knows what our record will be at that point.
