Patrik: So … here’s my thing. If the team’s medical staff holds DeMarvion Overshown out for most of or the entirety of the season, there will be rampant speculation of a supposed setback. But when they deem him ready to go, and right on the schedule he set for himself, no less, an impressive feat, the speculation is they’re somehow rushing him back? I do think everyone needs to pick a narrative to struggle with and stay there. I’m being serious here. I’m not on the medical staff. I’m no doctor. This is to say neither are most fans, and those who are don’t have access to Overshown’s scans, records, progress reports, etc. … so all I can go on is what I see and hear. The rest is just waiting and seeing. But what I also believe most are missing is it’s because he went through this before, it helped speed up this recovery because he knows what the benchmarks are, how to hit them and how his knee is supposed to feel once he does; and the fact it’s not the same knee. We all saw how quickly he got to top form after the first one so, in my opinion, he’s earned some trust when it comes to this topic.
