Nearly a year after a surgery that was supposed to take four to five months to heal, Baltimore Ravens receiver Quincy Adeboyejo says he has been cleared to return to football activities.
In a lengthy thread posted to his Twitter account, Adeboyejo walked through the details of his lengthy recovery that kept him from playing for the Ravens last season.
“After 12 long months rehabbing, ups and downs, disappointments, trials & tribulations. I am blessed to finally be cleared to play ball again,” Adeboyejo wrote.
Adeboyejo said his surgery to address an injured leg muscle was May 14th of last year. He was initially expected to have a chance to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list around midseason. But after five months, he wasn’t close to being back. After six and seven months, little had still changed.
“It’s 8 months now and the season is over.. everybody is enjoying their offseason and I’m still stuck in the same place I was at 7 months, no improvement at all,” he continued.
Only in the last month was he able to turn a corner in his recovery process and finally get cleared to play once again.
“It’s crazy how far I’ve came in this past month,” he wrote. “Just last month I felt like it would be many more months before I was able to play again but God had other plans.”
Adeboyejo appeared in one game in 2017 while spending most of the season on the Ravens practice squad. He caught three passes for 31 yards in the 2017 preseason.
