  1. Quick bullet points I grabbed. 54 and 59 days for grade 3 lacerations. Grade 3 is 5 cm in size or 3 cm in depth and is expanding. Grade 3 normal recovery can be 90-180 days. Spleen injuries are the most likely organ to be fatal for athletes.

    Now for my own stupid assumptions.

    I can’t find what grade Stones is, but since he wasn’t immediately put on LTIR I’d say it wasn’t grade 3. Grade 1-2 would be 8 weeks, so rolling those numbers against the others, he should be back around 4-6 weeks.
